Harrison Ford is currently hospitalized after crash-landing a small plane he was piloting, as first reported by TMZ and later confirmed by multiple outlets including NBC Southern California. His injuries are being described as serious, with NBC reporting Ford suffered cuts and "possible bone fractures."
According to reports, Ford was piloting a vintage World War II training plane before it crashed on Penmar Golf Club in Venice shortly after takeoff. Ford was the only person on board the plane, and what went wrong is not yet clear. Reports say two doctors were able to quickly attend to Ford on the scene.
SPINOFF will have more on this story as it develops.
