F1 Legend Michael Schumacher In Coma After Skiing Accident

Seven-time Formula One champion Michael Schumacher is in a coma and is said to be in a critical condition. The 44-year-old fell in Meribel in the French Alps after skiing off-piste with his 14-year-old son

The Grenoble University Hospital Center said the retired driver arrived at the clinic in a coma and underwent immediate surgery for a serious head trauma.

It was not clear whether the 44-year-old German was still in a coma but the hospital statement, which was signed by a neurosurgeon, an anesthesiologist and Marc Penaud, the hospital's deputy director, said "he remains in a critical condition." 


The retired driver fell while skiing off-piste in Meribel earlier Sunday and hit his head on a rock, according to a statement from the resort. Resort managers said he had been wearing a helmet and was conscious when rescuers first responded to the scene.
