Former motor racing world champion
Michael Schumacher is in a coma following a skiing accident in France.
The 44-year-old German suffered a "serious brain trauma
with coma on his arrival, which required an immediate neurosurgical
operation," according to the hospital treating Schumacher in the French
city of Grenoble.
Schumacher was wearing a helmet when he reportedly hit his head
on a rock while skiing in the French Alps. He was airlifted off the mountain following the accident in the
resort of Meribel, in the popular Three Valleys area.
