UPDATED: Harrison Ford “Battered, but ok” After Plane Crash

GOOD NEWS from his son (thanks troi!)
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.

EARLIER…
To quote his onscreen son unironically: Nonononononono.
Reports vary as to how seriously Harrison Ford is hurt after he crashed a vintage fighter plane on a Santa Monica golf course. TMZ describes multiple gashes to the head and says he’s “seriously injured,” while an AP report that didn’t yet know who the pilot was describes him as being in “critical condition.”
Either way, he’s been rushed to hospital, and if we lose Han Solo and Mr. Spock in the same week this will officially be the worst week ever in nerddom. May the Force be with him.
UPDATE: LAFD says he’s alert, conscious and breathing. Phew.
