Seven-time World Champion Michael Schumacher was taken to hospital earlier today following a motorbike accident in Spain.

The German was taking part in a private test for the International German Superbike Championship Cartegena when he fell from his machine.

The 40-year-old was subsequently taken to the Virgen Arrixaca Hospital in Murcia as a precautionary measure.

"Today I had an accident at the biking tests in Cartagena, and to be safe I went to a hospital," writes Schumacher on his website. "I was driving down start-finish and when breaking into the first corner I hit some bumps which made me fall.

"The checks in the hospital showed nothing and I am fine," he adds, "therefore I went back home at the evening."
