Watch as actor Gwyneth Paltrow is back in Utah’s Third District Court on Wednesday 22 March 22, accused of violently crashing into a man while skiing in 2016.

She is accused of colliding with 76-year-old retired optometrist Terry Sanderson on a slope in Utah.

Sanderson claims the Goop founder then bolted down the slope in a hit-and-run.

Mr Sanderson claims she slammed into him in a “full body hit,” leaving him with serious injuries.

He says he was left with “permanent traumatic brain injury, four broken ribs, pain, suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, emotional distress and disfigurement.”

Mr Sanderson is suing Ms Paltrow for $300,000 in compensation for the injuries he sustained, a sum that has been reduced by the judge from an initial $3.1m.

Meanwhile, Ms Paltrow claims that it was Ms Sanderson who crashed into her on the slope.

The Oscar-winning actor has countersued, seeking a symbolic $1 and for her legal expenses to be covered.
