Calista Flockhart visits ailing husband Harrison Ford
Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart tied the knot in 2010 after dating for more than eight years.
Actress Calista Flockhart has visited husband and Hollywood star Harrison Ford, who was injured while crash-landing his small plane near here, in the hospital.
Ford, 72, suffered a bad laceration to his face in the crash and was transported to the local hospital, where Flockhart, 50, and his children from his previous marriages rushed to his side, reported People magazine.
“Calista arrived at the ER shortly after Harrison. She looked concerned and stayed with Harrison until late last night. This morning, she drove (their son) Liam to school andthen straight to the hospital. She is still at the hospital now,” a source said.
The pair tied the knot in 2010 after dating for more than eight years.
“They are a super loving, normal, down-to-earth family. Flying is something they’ve shared. This whole thing must be terrifying,” the source said.
Harrison Ford’s condition stable now
The condition of ‘Star Wars’ actor Harrison Ford, who sustained injuries while crash-landing his small plane near here, is stable now.
The vintage yellow fighter plane crashed at Penmar Golf Course, not far from the Santa Monica airport, Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Erik Scott said, reported People magazine.
Ford, 72, was the only person on board the craft. An LAPD spokeswoman confirmed the actor is in stable condition.
Ford underwent surgery to repair a broken ankle and pelvis following his death-defying plane crash in California yesterday.
“Harrison was flying a WW2 vintage plane today which had engine trouble upon take off,” a representative for Ford said in a statement.
“He had no other choice but to make an emergency landing, which he did safely. He was banged up and is in the hospital receiving medical care. The injuries sustained are not life threatening, and he is expected to make a full recovery.”
Ford’s son Ben, a chef, tweeted on Thursday night that he was at the hospital with his father, who was “battered, but ok! He is every bit the man you would think he is. He is an incredibly strong man. Thank you all for your thoughts and good vibes for my dad.”
Santa Monica City Commissioner Phil Brock said the star sustained a head injury.
“There were two doctors who had been at the golf course who first attended to Mr Ford and the Santa Monica Fire Department was the first to arrive,” Brock said.
This is not the first time Ford, an experienced pilot, has been in a plane crash.
His six-passenger plane took a hard landing in Lincoln, Nebraska, in the summer of 2000, but the actor was not hurt. Ford also crash-landed a helicopter in October 1999 while he was practising emergency landings with a flight instructor.
This accident comes month after the actor suffered a broken leg on the set of the upcoming ‘Star Wars’ movie while shooting in England.
