According to Mirror, veteran actor Harrison Ford was at Pinewood Studios today when a hydraulic door fell down on him as he was filming Star Wars: Episode VII.  "The Han Solo actor 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," reveals the UK source. Ford was apparently airlifted to an Oxford hospital, where he's currently admitted. Disney also released an official statement on the mishap: "Ford sustained an ankle injury during filming today on the set of Star Wars: Episode VII. He was taken to a local hospital and is receiving care. Shooting will continue as planned while he recuperates."
