Seven-time Formula One world champion Michael Schumacher sustained a head injury on Sunday, Dec. 29, in a skiing accident at the Meribel Alpina resort in the French Alps and is in critical condition. Schumacher suffered a brain haemorrhage in the fall and is currently in a coma.

Updates from Friday, Jan. 3

No change has been reported in Schumacher's condition, a situation that could remain for several weeks. However, details of the accident have begun to emerge from German daily Bild.

The paper claims Schumacher was attempting to come to the aid of a friend's daughter at the time of the accident. Russell Myers of the Daily Mirror outlines Bild's report:

Suddenly the daughter of a friend crashed. Schumi helps the girl, leaving the groomed area and moves about 20 metres in the deep snow between the slopes Biche and Mauduit.

Both sides of the groomed slopes are marked with flags. Has Schumacher not seen the instructions? Unclear.

What is certain is that between 10.50am and 11am – around a quarter of an hour earlier than previously thought – misfortune struck. Schumi, also wearing upper body protectors in addition to his helmet, hits a rock covered by the snow.

Fans of the legendary driver are planning a tribute on Friday to mark his birthday. Sky Sports has the details:

Ferrari fans will hold a silent 45th birthday tribute to Michael Schumacher outside the University Hospital of Grenoble on Friday.
