VIENNA (AFP) – Heather Mills, the ex-wife of former Beatle Paul McCartney, has sustained a serious shoulder injury in a ski accident in the Austrian Alps, the regional daily Kleine Zeitung reported on Thursday.
Ex-model Mills, 43, has bought a 1.57-million-euro ($2.2 million) house overlooking the Millstaetter See in Carinthia and has been training in the region for the 2014 Winter Paralympics in the Russian town of Sochi, the newspaper said.
She fell and seriously injured her right shoulder while ski-ing on the Moelltal Glacier on Wednesday morning and was flown by helicopter to the nearby hospital in Lienz, the newspaper reported, quoting a hospital spokesman.
There was a chance that Mills might be flown back to Britain, the spokesman added.
Mills and McCartney's marriage ended in a bitter divorce three years ago.
She was awarded ?24.3 million pounds (then $48 million, 30.8 million euros) in an accord finally hammered out after prolonged and acrimonious negotiations.
McCartney married Mills in a lavish ceremony in Ireland in June 2002, four years after his first wife Linda, a photographer and animal rights campaigner, died from breast cancer.
McCartney, 68, is to marry for the third time later this year, after recently announcing his engagement to New York entrepreneur Nancy Shevell.
