PARIS -- Seven-time Formula One champion Michael Schumacher was in critical condition after undergoing brain surgery following a skiing accident in the French Alps on Sunday, doctors said.
The Grenoble University Hospital Center said the retired driver arrived at the clinic in a coma and underwent immediate surgery for a serious head trauma.
It was not clear whether the 44-year-old German was still in a coma but the hospital statement, which was signed by a neurosurgeon, an anesthesiologist and Marc Penaud, the hospital's deputy director, said "he remains in a critical condition."

I bruised my thigh pretty good on a jagged stump on Friday. Your thoughts and prayers are welcome.

Water is like concrete if you hit it hard enough.

Bears don't hunt in packs. These majestic beasts do, though.
