Schumi sends Brit car dealer flying

Friday 1st August 2008

Michael Schumacher found himself chatting to the British police last Sunday when he was involved in accident that sent a car dealer flying.

The seven-time World Champ, who was on his way to a nearby airport in Kent, clipped a garage door that was being closed by car dealer Martin Kingham. The impact spun Kingham round and he landed face-first on the bonnet of a parked van.

Although he was unhurt, the police were called to the incident, although no further action was required.

"The last thing you expect on a quiet afternoon is to be run over by Michael Schumacher - it was unbelievable," Kingham told the Daily Mirror.

"He came from behind me to overtake two old ladies in a little Fiat. The first thing I knew I was flat on my face after the collision.

"When I realised who had hit me I thought I had concussion."

Schumi's spokeswoman Sabine Kehm confirmed the incident: "There was a collision but nobody was injured.

"Michael cooperated with police. There is nothing else we wish to say."
