A lawyer representing a man suing Gwyneth Paltrow for allegedly colliding with him in a “hit-and-run ski crash” in 2016 told jurors that his client “never came home” from the mountain in closing arguments on Thursday, 30 March.

Dr Terry Sanderson alleges that he was left with “permanent traumatic brain injury, four broken ribs, pain, suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, emotional distress and disfigurement”.

Robert Sykes, representing Mr Sanderson, said: "I believe Gwyneth Paltrow when she says ‘Terry hit me in the back’ – it’s a sincere belief but the problem is a sincere belief doesn’t make it so."
