Lindsey Vonn crashed and was carried in a sled down the mountain at a World Cup race in Andorra on Saturday.

Vonn was leading under snowfall, about 10 seconds from the finish of the super-G course, when she fell while shifting pressure onto her left leg for a turn.

She slid for six seconds and came to a stop before running into safety fencing.

Vonn lay motionless on the snow while officials came to her, detached her skis and eventually loaded her onto a sled to transport her down the mountain 11 minutes after she crashed.
