UPDATE 2: From CBS: “The small, yellow plane crashed about 2:24 p.m. at Penmar Golf Course, 1233 Rose Ave., not far from the Santa Monica airport, according to Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Erik Scott. The pilot, identified as actor Harrison Ford by entertainment website TMZ.com, was the only person on board. He was taken to a hospital in critical condition.”

UPDATE 3: Variety: “The actor was the only one aboard the plane and the only person who sustained injuries.”

Update 4: NBC: “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.'”

Update 5: A bit of not-horrible news: NBC reports that Ford’s “injuries were originally described as ‘critical,’ but sources emphasized they are better characterized as serious, including lacerations to the head and possible fractures.”
