Academy Award winner Gwyneth Paltrow has been found not liable for a skiing collision with another skier on a Utah slope in 2016.

From the New York Times:

Ms. Paltrow was sued for $300,000 by Terry Sanderson, a retired optometrist who has accused the actress of skiing “out of control” during a run at the Deer Valley Resort. He testified that Ms. Paltrow crashed into his back, leaving him with four broken ribs and a traumatic brain injury that has made him a “self-imposed recluse.”

Jurors found that Mr. Sanderson was “100 percent” at fault in the crash and caused Ms. Paltrow harm.

Ms. Paltrow testified that Mr. Sanderson was the one who caused the crash by running into her as she skied with her children.

The jury did award Paltrow $1 – the sum she had specified in her countersuit.
