Schumacher rushed to hospital after ski accident
Print Edition
Retired seven-time Formula One world champion Michael Schumacher suffered a head injury in a fall while skiing off-piste in the French Alps resort of Meribel yesterday, an official said.
“He has been taken to a hospital in Moutiers,” the resort director, Christophe Gernigon-Lecomte, said.
The 44-year-old German was wearing a helmet and was conscious during the transport to hospital, he added, suggesting that Schumacher was less seriously injured than initial media reports had indicated.
“He fell around 11:00 am and hit a rock with his head,” Gernigon-Lecomte said. “It seems that he has suffered a head trauma, but I would not say how serious it is. He was conscious but very agitated while being taken to hospital.”
Schumacher, whose birthday is on January 3, is the most successful Formula One driver of all time with a record 91 victories among his achievements. He won his titles with Benetton and Ferrari. He left the sport last year after a three-year comeback with Mercedes following an earlier retirement from Ferrari at the end of 2006. The German lives in Switzerland with his wife and two children.
