Michael Schumacher is in a critical condition after a skiing accident, says the French hospital treating him.The seven-time Formula 1 world champion, suffered serious brain trauma, was in a coma on arrival and underwent a brain operation.
He was skiing off-piste with his son in the French Alps on Sunday when the accident occurred.
Schumacher was wearing a helmet when he fell and hit his head against a rock, his manager Sabine Kehm said.
Early reports had said his condition was not life-threatening and he reportedly walked away from the accident complaining only of feeling a bit shaken.
The accident took place in the French ski resort of Meribel on Sunday morning.
Professor Gerard Saillant, a close ally and friend of Michael Schumacher who oversawhiss medical care when the German broke his leg in the 1999 British GP, and his former Ferrari team boss Jean Todt are at the hospital tonight.
My thoughts are with Michael Schumacher, his family and friends tonight.
