His wife Corinna and two children are with him.'Critical situation' "Mr Schumacher was admitted to the University Hospital of Grenoble at 12:40 [11:40 GMT], following a skiing accident which occurred in Meribel in the late morning," the Grenoble hospital said in a statement."He suffered a severe head injury with coma on arrival, which required immediate neurosurgical intervention. He remains in a critical situation."The hospital statement was signed by the facility's neurosurgeon, the professor in charge of its anaesthesia/revival unit, and the hospital's deputy director, reports said.Experts say it is likely that his brain began to swell and the urgent surgery was required to relieve the pressure, says the BBC's Hugh Schofield in Paris.for more <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-25545993" target="_blank">BBC</a><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-25545993" target="_blank"></a>Michael Schumacher <img src="http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/63589000/jpg/_63589993_schuey1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> *Born: 3 January 1969 *First GP win: Belgium 1992 *Last GP win: China 2006 *Races started: 303 *Wins: 91 (155 podium finishes) *Championships: 7 (1994, 1995, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004)</blockquote>
