Harrison Ford was involved in a single-engine plane crash in Los Angeles, according to reports and a witness at the scene.

The 72-year-old actor was reportedly flying over the Penmar Golf Course near the Santa Monica airport Thursday when his yellow, vintage aircraft crash-landed into a green.

The Los Angeles Fire Department confirmed that a single male occupant was critically injured in a crash at the Venice course. He was taken to a local hospital for treatment, they said.

TMZ reported that Ford suffered multiple gashes to his head and was bleeding.

The plane appeared to be a Ryan PT-22 Recruit which was used for training during World War II. It appeared mostly intact.

He's not in critical condition. Apparently he walked away from the crash with some head lacs and was reported to be in serious condition.

His condition is now stable and it appears he will recover. No word on lost perk points.

BTW anyone recognize the vintage bird he was flying?

The airplane is a Ryan PT-22.

Anyone see the video of it?  I did and I walked away with even more respect for him.  I'll let you watch it and see what you think.
