Michael Schumacher has been taken to hospital after suffering a head injury in a fall while skiing in the French Alps. It is believed Schumacher was skiing off-piste in the resort of Meribel when the accident happened on Sunday morning. The seven-time world champion fell and hit his head on a rock, according to the resort director, Christophe Gernigon-Lecomte. However, Schumacher was wearing a helmet and his injuries are not thought to be serious.
Statement : “Michael suffered a head injury in a private ski trip in the French Alps. He was taken to hospital and is receiving professional medical care. We ask for understanding that we cannot give continuous information about his health. He was wearing a helmet and was not alone. For his fall, no other person was involved.”
Resort director Christophe Gernigon-Lecomte : "He was transferred by helicopter to a hospital in Grenoble. At the moment I am unaware of the gravity of his injury. The police are in the process of investigating the cause of the fall. He fell at 11:07am, whilst off piste in Meribel. He was wearing a helmet and hit a rock. The emergency services arrived quickly at 11:15am ... He was in shock, a little shaken but conscious. It might be a head injury but it's not serious. 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."
Get Well Soon Michael...
