News is useless. Are we talking, broken leg, or suspected life threatening injury. You'd think they at least manage to source that...

Edit: Seems they have now updated it to include 'serious head injury'

The seven-time Formula 1 champion has reportedly been taken to a French hospital with a 'serious head injury'.

Looks like it could be a serious head injury..

The link siad no such things, even now it only says head injury, nothing about serious.

Wouldn't be news for any other skier. Sky Sports News said that the injury was uncertain.

Standard practice to get the headline out to beat the competition and then fill in the details.

I did at the time I linked it. It's been updated obviously

5 live mentioned he had a head injury due to hitting a rock. Thankfully he was wearing a helmet at the time.

You didn't link anything, unless your also the op.
The OP link literally said MS taken to hospital in a skiing accident and said nothing else, nothing about head or serious.
Then it was updated to head injury.

Lets hope he makes a full recovery, legend of F1 racing imho although a lot of people never liked him and still dont.

 

[Nightglow]

Not just Sky changing, German news has changed from serious to not very serious, & back to serious, so it's all confusing at the moment.

I heard the only parts left of him are his heart and his left eye.

Christophe Gernignon-Lecomte, director of the Meribel resort, told Radio Monte Carlo Sport: "He was shocked, a little shaken but conscious.

"It may be a head injury but it is not very serious."

He added: "He was wearing a helmet and banged [his head] against a rock."

The 3rd line of the OP says it was a serious head injury and he didn't change what he wrote.

Media over OP. Especially when it was meant to be taken from the media article.

The police are in the process of investigating the cause of the fall.

Really? Erm, he was skiiing and fell over? Or was it a hit and run and are in the process of finding the skier who failed to stop at an accident

 

[Jokester]

Maybe Damon Hill appeared from nowhere and deliberately crashed into him?

In most countries with large ski resorts it's an offence to ski off after an accident without leaving details with the ski patrol.
