As midnight approaches in Toronto, it appears the head injury suffered by Formula 1 champion Michael Schumacher while skiing in France may be more serious than first believed. Schumacher, 44, who retired from Formula 1 for the second time at the end of the 2012 season, was taken by helicopter to hospital in Moutiers before being moved to Grenoble. First reports called the injuries not too serious and said that Schumacher was conscious. He has now been taken to a larger hospital for emergency surgery. He was said to be in a coma. Schumacher was skiing with his 14-year-old son and others in an off-piste area between two marked runs above Meribel when he fell on Sunday morning. BBC
