Sir Stirling suffered  fall at his London home

British racing legend Sir Stirling Moss suffered a bad accident at the weekend.and although  not in good shape, he is no longer in danger.

As a result of a malfunction of the lift in their home, the lift doors opened on the third floor when the lift was waiting at the fourth floor. Sir Stirling stepped through the doors on the third floor and dropped three storeys down the lift shaft to the concrete base.

He broke both ankles and four bones in his feet in the fall, as well as damage to some vertebrae. Amazingly he did not suffer any internal injuries.

He was initially admitted to the London Hospital and then moved yesterday following the intervention of Professor Sid Watkins to Princess Grace Hospital, where he was operated upon.

It is hoped that Sir Stirling will be moved from Intensive Care later today and Lady Moss says he is in remarkably good spirits and already complaining about the size and quality of the hospital breakfast!
