Hollywood star stands trial over ski crash
A 76-year-old man claims he suffered a brain injury following a collision with Gwyneth Paltrow on the ski slopes in Utah/
Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow went on trial in a US civil court on Tuesday, where she is accused of causing serious injury to a retired optometrist in a collision on a Utah ski slope in 2022.
Terry Sanderson, 76, claims Paltrow crashed into him at the upmarket Deer Valley resort in Park City, Utah several years ago, after which she and her entourage abandoned him as they continued down the mountain.
It was also claimed that Paltrow’s ski instructor had witnessed the accident and offered no help to the injured party. Sanderson stated that he waited one years to file legal proceedings because he was dealing with prolonged symptoms of concussion as a result of the accident, while also experiencing problems with his legal team.
The civil trial – at which Paltrow is expected to testify – is scheduled to last for eight days.
