Correa placed in induced coma, in critical condition

The family of Juan Manuel Correa has released an update on the American driver's condition as he continues to recover from injuries sustained in the crash which claimed the life of F2 rival Anthoine Hubert.

Last Saturday at Belgium's Spa-Francorchamps circuit, Correa was involved in a collision with Hubert after the French driver had lost control of his car at the high-speed Radillion corner. Hubert was pronounced dead several hours later.

Correa has spent the week since in intensive care and was originally reported to have leg fractures and a minor spinal injury.

On Saturday the family updated to report that new complications have arisen since the accident.
