He would have collided with another skier at the crossing of two blue slopes, says a spokesperson for the resort of La Rosière (Savoie). Gaspard Ulliel was seriously injured on Tuesday in a skiing accident, AFP said on Wednesday, citing Albertville prosecutor Anne Gaches and confirming information from our colleagues at BFMTV.
The 37-year-old actor was transported by helicopter to the Grenoble University Hospital (Isère). According to the gendarmerie, his vital prognosis was engaged on Tuesday, but no element filtered on his state of health this Wednesday. The prosecution announced the opening of an investigation, entrusted to the CRS Alpes.
