American skier Lindsey Vonn crashed at a World Cup race in Andorra on Saturday and was carried off the mountain on a sled. She posted an Instagram saying she suffered a hairline fracture in her left knee.

Vonn slid on soft snow and remained down for about 10 minutes before being taken down the hill on sled.

Here is video of the race, from NBC Sports:

Skiers were racing in difficult conditions, according to the AP:

Earlier, strong winds and snowfall forced organizers to lower the start and delay the race by three hours, allowing course workers to move fresh snow off the course.

Weather improved during the delay but heavy clouds moved back in again after the race began.

Snowfall slowed later starters as many racers shook their heads or shrugged shoulders after finishing.

Even with the injured left knee, Vonn hasn’t ruled herself out of racing on Sunday. Also, worth noting it was her right knee that kept her out of the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi.
