Harrison Ford Injured After His Small Plane Crash Landed (UPDATE)
TMZ says that a small plane piloted by Harrison Ford crash landed on the Penmar golf course in Venice, CA today. He was apparently busted up pretty bad and had to be taken to the hospital.
Harrison was reportedly the only one in the 2-seater plane went shit got serious and he crashed into the golf course. He had several gashes to his head and was bleeding. Luckily there were a couple of doctors playing golf nearby and they treated his wounds the best that they could before the paramedics came and shuffled him off to the hospital. The Los Angeles Fire Department tells the NYDN that there was a crash at the golf course and that one person was critically injured. One person on Twitter said that his mom was playing golf at the time and helped him out. According to her, he seemed okay.
TMZ also points out that Harrison has been flying planes and helicopters for a long time and he has had to crash land at least twice in the past.
NOT HARRISON FORD! Quick! Form a prayer circle for Harrison Ford while throwing a side-eye at Reggie (because you know he had something to do with this).
UPDATE: The Los Angeles Fire Department said in a press conference that 72-year-old Harrison is in “fair to moderate condition” and was “alert, conscious, and breathing” when paramedics took him to the hospital. He’s being treated at the hospital now and none of his injuries are life-threatening. So I guess it’s safe to make “Get off my plane” jokes now. I guess if you have to crash land somewhere, it should be a golf course in Los Angeles, because that’s the place where you’ll find doctors in the middle of the afternoon on a goddamn weekday.
UPDATE II: Harrison’s son tweeted this:
At the hospital. Dad is ok. Battered, but ok! He is every bit the man you would think he is. He is an incredibly strong man.
