Seven-time Formula 1 world champion Michael Schumacher is reported to be in a critical condition after suffering a serious head injury while skiing in France.
The 44-year-old had to be airlifted to hospital on Sunday morning following the accident at the resort of Meribel in the French Alps.
Christophe Gernignon-Lecomte, director of the Meribel resort, later told RMC Sport that the German had regained consciousness.
However, AFP are now reporting that Schumacher's condition has deteriorated, while Sky News have revealed that he arrived at the Grenoble hospital in a coma and required immediate neurological treatment.
