Michael Schumacher hits pedestrian while overtaking elderly driver in his van
Posted by admin in Anything else, tags: Martin Kingham, Michael SchumacherHe might have been a whizz on the Formula One circuit, but the back roads of Kent proved more taxing for motor racing legend Michael Schumacher.
The seven-time world champion was on his way back from an event at Silverstone on Sunday when he was overtaking an elderly woman driver and accidentally clipped a pedestrian.
The 38-year-old German, who was behind the wheel of a Fiat Ducato van, was not injured in the prang.
Martin Kingham told how he was knocked to the ground by the Formula One ace’s van as he rounded a corner and overtook another car before ploughing into him.
‘”The last thing you expect on a quiet afternoon is to be run over by Michael Schumacher – it was unbelievable,’ Mr Kingham, 39, 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.
