  • Ford was piloting a vintage World War II training plane. NBC News says the actor’s condition is “serious,” not “critical,” as reported by some outlets.

    From NBC News:

    His injuries were originally described as “critical,” but sources emphasized they are better characterized as serious, including lacerations to the head and possible fractures.

    Howard Tabe, an employee at the Penmar Golf Course, said ‘There was blood all over his face … Two very fine doctors were treating him, taking good care of him. I helped put a blanket under his hip.”

    From TMZ:

    We’re told Ford suffered multiple gashes to his head and was bleeding. Two doctors who happened to be at the golf course rushed over to treat the actor.

    Emergency personnel arrived to the scene a short time later. Ford was transported to a nearby hospital.

  • The Indiana Jones and Star Wars actor is 72 years old and has apparently crashed small planes before with minimal injuries.
