Michael Schumacher Hurt In Skiing Accident

Former motor racing world champion Michael Schumacher has suffered head injuries in a skiing accident.

It happened while the 44-year-old was skiing in the French resort of Meribel in the popular Three Valleys area.

It is understood he was wearing a helmet when he hit his head on a rock, and that he did not lose consciousness.

He has been flown by helicopter to Grenoble Hospital.

The duty manager at the hospital told Sky News that Schumacher had been admitted and is undergoing a scan.

He said he had no further information and that ''his injuries are being examined at the moment''.

Christophe Gernignon-Lecomte, director general of Meribel ski resort, told radio station RMC: "For the moment I don't know the severity of the injury.

"The gendarmes are at the scene investigating how the accident happened.

"He was taken by helicopter to Grenoble Hospital. I don't know if it happened on piste or off piste."

Schumacher owns a chalet in Meribel and is a keen skiier.

The German driver retired from Formula 1 for a second time in December last year.

He made a disappointing return to the sport after making his comeback in 2010, managing only one podium finish during his three years with Mercedes.
