ACCIDENT// French prosecutors investigating into the causes of Michael Schumacher’s skiing accident believe that the Former Formula One Champion was off piste, and did not try to reduce his speed just before he fell. Police investigators are still continuing to review footage from a camera attached to Schumacher’s helmet at the time of the crash.
“He was going at a speed that was in accordance with the slope. But he did not make any special turns to reduce his speed,” said investigator Stépahne Bozon from the French Gendarmerie.
The former racing driver hit his head on rocks in the resort of Meribel on the December 27,2013, and remains in a medically induced coma. Doctors say his condition is still critical but stable. In January 2014, Schumacher’s wife called on the media camped outside the Grenoble Clinic where her husband is being treated to leave and let doctors work in peace.
A brain surgery specialist has reportedly claimed that Formula One legend Michael Schumacher will be a completely different person than he was should he survive the severe head injuries he suffered in a skiing accident in December.
