Ap Source: Harrison Ford Crash-lands Plane On Golf Course

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Harrison Ford crash-landed his small vintage airplane at a Los Angeles golf course Thursday, shortly after taking off from a nearby airport and reporting engine problems. People on the ground rushed to his aid, and he was taken by ambulance to a hospital with moderate injuries. Fire and police officials would not confirm the pilot's identity; however, an official familiar with the crash said it was Ford. In a communication with Santa Monica's air traffic control tower at 2:21 p.m., the pilot cites engine failure and says he is making an "immediate return," according to a recording posted by the website LiveATC.net. Ford is cast to play swashbuckling space-age soldier-of-fortune Han Solo in his fourth "Star Wars" movie, set for release in December. The original "Star Wars" in 1977 made Ford an overnight star who remains an A-list actor with several colossal box office hits in his credits. The accident involved the spacecraft door of the Millennium Falcon, which makes a return in the highly anticipated film.
