'Real Housewives' Vicki Gunvalson ski accident: Crashes with snowboarder

"Real Housewives of Orange County" star, Vicki Gunvalson, was in an alarming ski accident recently while vacationing in Park City, Utah, TMZ reports Jan. 7.

When she finished, ski patrol exercised caution after the accident by calling for an ambulance. She was seen in photos standing straight up talking to officials before being strapped onto a stretcher and immediately transported to the hospital for an examination. The doctor determined she suffered a serious case of whiplash.
