Gwyneth Paltrow' the Hollywood star for $300,000 (£245,000) after she allegedly "slammed" into Mr Sanderson, a retired optometrist

 Gwyneth Paltrow's claim fellow skier crashed into her not 'plausible' because of accuser's injuries, court told

Terry Sanderson, 76, is suing the US actress over claims she seriously injured him while they were both skiing at Deer Valley Resort in Utah. Her legal team has told jurors that Mr Sanderson was the one who crashed into her.

The injuries suffered by Gwyneth Paltrow's accuser could not "plausibly" have been caused by him crashing into her, a US court has been told.

Terry Sanderson, 76, showed "typical hallmarks" of a traumatic brain injury and "deteriorated abruptly" following the 2016 incident on the slopes of the Deer Valley Resort in Utah, according to a radiologist.

Mr Sanderson, a retired optometrist, is suing the Hollywood star for $300,000 (£245,000) after she allegedly "slammed" into him from behind, leaving him unresponsive with several broken ribs and brain damage.

The Oscar-winning actress also allegedly "bolted" from the scene without saying a word.

But 50-year-old Paltrow, who is also a lifestyle influencer, rejects the claims, with her lawyer calling Mr Sanderson's version of events "utter BS".

Her legal team has told jurors in Park City that Mr Sanderson was the one who crashed into her during her family holiday - a collision in which they say she sustained a "full body blow".

The Shakespeare In Love actress, who is counter-suing Mr Sanderson for $1, claims he has been overstating his injuries as well as trying to exploit her celebrity and wealth.

At the start of the second day's proceedings, Paltrow's lawyer Stephen Owens complained about camera attention on the movie star in violation of courthouse decorum, saying: "I'm mad... I want it to stop".

Judge Kent Holmberg replied: "I do see this as a violation", and he said that if it happened again then "the offending reporter" would be "asked to leave".
