Harrison Ford Crash-Lands Plane on Golf Course; Actor Reportedly Seriously Injured

by The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Harrison Ford crash-landed his vintage airplane at a Los Angeles golf course Thursday, an official said. He suffered moderate injuries and was taken to a hospital.

The actor’s single-engine plane went down at about 2:30 p.m. in LA’s Venice area, authorities said.

The pilot was breathing and conscious when he was taken to a hospital, where he was listed in fair to moderate condition, Los Angeles fire officials said.

Fire officials would not confirm the pilot’s identity. However, an official familiar with the crash said it was Ford. The official spoke only condition of anonymity because of privacy restrictions.

The 72-year-old “Star Wars” and “Indiana Jones” actor is an aviation enthusiast who often flies out of the Santa Monica Airport. Penmar Golf Course, where the crash happened, is just west of a runway there.

The plane appeared to be a World War II-era vintage training plane. It was mostly intact after the wreck, and Ford was the only person aboard.

Nobody on the ground was hurt, but people rushed the scene and started helping Ford.
