A small, two-passenger airplane flown by longtime pilot Harrison Ford went down at the Penmar golf course in Venice, CA earlier (assumed to have happened today). Harrison reportedly survived, but sustained several cuts to the head, and was bleeding. Luckily, there were two doctors on the course at the time who immediately rushed to the scene where they treated him, and later taken to local hospital by ambulance. This isn't his first crash, so this isn't anything he's not used to. I'm assuming he knew the proper protocol for landing a crashing plane without too much going wrong. This is all the information we have at this time, but we will give updates as the story develops.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to him in hopes for a speedy recovery.

Update: A press conference by the Los Angeles Fire department describe Harrison's injuries as "very moderate", NBC News reports. It sounds like he's going to pull through! May the Force be with him as he recovers!
Update #2: Harrison's son Ben later tweeted a positive update on his father's condition:
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.
