Subject: Harrison Ford crushed on Star Wars set: Han Solo star airlifted to hospital

Written By: Philip Eno on 06/12/14 at 2:29 pm

Star Wars actor Harrison Ford was airlifted to hospital today after he was crushed on the set of the new movie.

The 71-year-old Hollywood star was at Pinewood studios in Buckinghamshire when a hydraulic door fell down and hit him as he began work on Star Wars: Episode VII.

A source on set said Ford, known around the world as Han Solo in the original Star Wars trilogy, collided with the metal door while he was performing a stunt for the sci-fi film.

The actor, who also played Indiana Jones, fell to the ground in agony and after medics assessed him on the M Stage at the studios close to spaceship the Millennium Falcon, he was taken by stretcher onto a helicopter for further treatment.

The source added: “Harrison was hit by the door and looked in a bad way and was clutching his chest when he was on the stretcher.

“He is one of the biggest stars in Hollywood and no chances were being taken so he got straight into a helicopter and was taken away in a lot of pain. His foot was damaged too.

“The cast and crew were sent home for the day, even though it was 5pm and the beginning of a night shoot. Harrison’s injury and what happened is going to mean changes to the schedule and problems and issues that need to be solved.

"But the main thing at the moment is making sure Harrison is OK.”

The actor was taken by air ambulance to the John Radcliffe hospital in Oxford with a suspected fracture in his ankle. It is understood he has no major chest injuries but is awaiting results of further tests.

The NHS hospital has a trauma unit that specialises in fracture clinics with dedicated and purpose-designed buildings.

The building also provides facilities for radiological investigation and therapy treatment for all trauma patients.

Hans Solo does not believe in The Force

Luke: You don't believe in the Force, do you?

Han Solo: Kid, I've flown from one side of this galaxy to the other, and I've seen a lot of strange stuff, but I've never seen *anything* to make me believe that there's one all-powerful Force controlling everything. 'Cause no mystical energy field controls *my* destiny. It's all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense.
