Former F1 World Champion Michael Schumacher is in a ‘critical’ condition and has been placed in a coma following a skiing accident on Sunday morning.
Although initial reports stated that Schumacher’s injuries were not life threatening, the Grenoble hospital treating Schumacher reported at 10pm on Sunday night that the former Ferrari and Mercedes driver’s condition had worsened and is now regarded as ‘critical’.
A statement from the University Hospital of Grenoble, distributed by Schumacher’s management company on Sunday night, confirmed the 44-year-old was in a coma.
“Mr Schumacher was admitted to the University Hospital of Grenoble at 12:40pm, following a skiing accident which occurred in Meribel in the late morning,” the statement said.
“He suffered a severe head injury with coma on arrival, which required immediate neurosurgical intervention. He remains in a critical situation.”
