A Utah man is suing Gwyneth Paltrow and Deer Valley, asking for more than $3.1 million for ‘hit and run’ ski accident

A Utah man is suing actress Gwyneth Paltrow for a “hit-and-run ski crash” on the slopes at Deer Valley — alleging she hit him and then skied away as he lay in the snow with serious injuries. And he’s asking for damages in excess of $3.1 million.

In a lawsuit filed Tuesday in 3rd District Court in Summit County, Terry Sanderson alleges that on Feb. 26, 2016, Paltrow — an Oscar-winning actress whose roles range from “Shakespeare in Love” to “Glee” to the “Iron Man” movies — was skiing “out of control” when she hit him from behind, “knocking him down, landing on top of him, and causing him to suffer a concussion, brain injury and four broken ribs.
