Actor and entrepreneur Gwyneth Paltrow's ski collision trial continues in a Utah court on Friday, where she took the stand to answer questions about the incident.

Paltrow is accused of violently crashing into a man while skiing at a Utah resort in 2016.

Retired optometrist Terry Sanderson, who is suing Paltrow for US$300,000 is also expected to testify. He alleged the Goop founder collided with him while skiing at Deer Valley Resort in Park City, Utah, “knocking him down hard, knocking him out.”

In the complaint filed in 2019, Sanderson, 76, said the accident left him with “permanent traumatic brain injury, four broken ribs, pain, suffering, loss of enjoyment of life.” He maintains that Paltrow left him collapsed on the slope and skied away.

Paltrow denies any responsibility for the crash and is countersuing for $1 and lawyers’ fees. She claims Sanderson is the one who hit her and is now suing to “exploit her celebrity and wealth.”

On Friday afternoon, she told a lawyer from Sanderson’s team that she “was not engaging in any risky behaviour” on the day of the crash, saying she was skiing with her two kids as well as with Brad Falchuk – her boyfriend at the time, now her husband – and his two kids.

The group was taking ski lessons on a green run – considered to be the easiest of runs on a ski hill – at the time, when she said she felt a pair of skis come between her skis, spreading her legs apart, and felt a “large body” hit her from behind.

The pair skied down the hill for a short period, before “someone’s ski caught an edge,” Paltrow testifed, and they collapsed, with Paltrow landing on top of Sanderson, their skis entwined.
