Trial begins in Park City ski-crash lawsuit against Gwyneth Paltrow
LA TimesGwyneth Paltrow was in Park City, Utah, on Tuesday for the start of a trial over a retired optometrist’s allegation that the actor and entrepreneur crashed into him on the ski slopes in 2016 and left him with serious injuries. Both Paltrow and the retired doctor, Terry Sanderson, were present in the courtroom as their attorneys laid out conflicting recollections of the incident that occurred at Park City’s Deer Valley Resort. Sanderson’s lawsuit, originally filed in 2019, alleges that Paltrow slammed into him, with one witness using the term “hit and run.” Paltrow, however, has contended that the retired doctor became entangled with her from behind and pulled her down into the snow with him. “The way he sustained injuries to his ribs is more likely than not caused by Ms. Paltrow hitting him in the back,” said Sanderson attorney Lawrence Buhler, according to “Inside Edition” video of the trial. Owens chalked up lingering issues to “normal aging and preexisting problems coming forward and progressing.” California L.A.
