French Formula One Driver Dies After Prolonged Coma

French Formula One driver Jules Bianchi has died of critical head injuries sustained after an accident last year at the Japanese Grand Prix. Bianchi passed away on Saturday at a hospital in Nice, near his parent’s home in the south of France. He was just 25 years old. In a statement, his family said: “Jules fought right to the very end, as he always did, but today his battle came to an end…The pain we feel is immense and indescribable.” Bianchi had been in a coma since the accident at Suzuka last October.
