Harrison Ford has been injured and hospitalised after crashing a small plane onto a golf course near Los Angeles.
The 72-year-old actor suffered “moderate” injuries after crashing the vintage two-seater plane he was piloting on to the green at Penmar golf course near Santa Monica’s municipal airport on Thursday afternoon.
Paramedics found him to be “alert and conscious” and suffering “moderate trauma”, Patrick Butler, Los Angeles assistant fire chief, told a press conference at the scene.
Paramedics “initiated spinal immobilisation, started an IV and began all the necessary medical protocols that we do,” Butler said.
He added: “We are very thankful that the passenger had [only] very moderate injuries.”
Reports said Ford suffered lacerations to his face and possible fractures. Television news footage taken showed him on a stretcher being taken into an ambulance.
Harrison Ford is best known for roles in Indiana Jones, Blade Runner and Star Wars films
