Officials hunt Schumacher phonecam video

Schumacher spent his 45th birthday on Friday still in an induced coma after the ski accident.

With dashcams, phonecams and even helmet cams at every sports venue, it was probably only a matter of time before we heard claims of video capturing Michael Schumacher's skiing accident.

According to Motor Authority, French investigators are on the trail of footage allegedly shot by a man who was filming his girlfriend at the Meribel resort where the Formula 1 legend crashed. The man is reported to have contacted German media claiming he has the footage of Schumacher's accident, shot on his mobile phone.

The French team's prosecutor, Patrick Quincy, has indicated more official details will be released later this week.

Schumacher spent his 45th birthday on Friday still in an induced coma after the accident, in which his head struck a rock, causing brain haemorrhaging. He has since undergone two operations, but remains in a stable but critical condition.
