Gwyneth Paltrow, 50, is facing a $300,000 lawsuit filed by Terry Sanderson, a retired optometrist who alleges that the actress collided with him while skiing at Utah's Deer Valley Resort in 2016. Sanderson took the stand on Monday after new evidence was introduced in the trial.

During his testimony, Sanderson described the ski collision and the chilling scream he heard before being hit. He stated, "It was like somebody was out of control and hit a tree and was going to die." Sanderson claimed he was struck from behind and lost control after feeling ski poles and fists between his shoulder blades.

The trial saw the introduction of new evidence from a viewer who had been following the proceedings. The viewer discovered a link in an email Sanderson sent to his daughters and shared it with the lawyers, who had been unable to locate the link.

Craig Ramon, the sole eyewitness to the crash, briefly returned to the stand to discuss the posting on Meetup.com. Paltrow's attorney plans to call the actress's husband, Brad Falchuk, and their children, Apple, 18, and Moses, 16, to testify once the plaintiff's lawyers conclude their case.

Paltrow, who spent around two hours on the stand on Friday, testified that Sanderson skied into her from behind. She also mentioned that she initially thought she was being sexually assaulted when the collision happened.

Last week, the jury heard from two of Sanderson's daughters, Polly Grasham and Shae Hareth, who both testified about their father's personality changes following the ski collision. Grasham revealed that she noticed something was "terribly wrong" with her father around a year or year and a half after the accident.

The 2016 ski collision, according to Sanderson's 2019 lawsuit, left him with a permanent traumatic brain injury, four broken ribs, pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life, as well as emotional distress and disfigurement. Paltrow countersued, claiming that Sanderson skied into her and that she remained at the scene until a Deer Valley Resort ski instructor allowed her to leave.
