The Italian Alessandro Zanardi is in an induced coma in the intensive care unit of a hospital in Siena after his serious accident on Friday. "His condition is stable, but remains critical, said Saturday the neurosurgeon Giuseppe Oliveri.

The director of the intensive care unit of the hospital, professor Sabino Scolletta, said Saturday evening that " the medical image itself was good, but it'll have to wait and see ". According to the doctor, the fact that the situation is stable is currently the best news possible, but it is still too early to assess the severity of brain injury. This will only be visible the next week, he said.
