Harrison Ford injured on Star Wars set

Harrison Ford, known for his iconic role as Han Solo, was injured during the filming of the Star Wars sequel, "Star Wars: The Force Awakens." The incident occurred when a hydraulic door fell on him, resulting in a fractured ankle. Following the accident, Ford was airlifted to John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, England, for immediate medical attention. His son, Ben Ford, provided updates on the situation, indicating that the injury would likely require surgical intervention involving a plate and screws to stabilize the ankle. This injury posed a challenge for the production team, as they had to adjust their filming schedule and techniques to accommodate Ford's recovery. For a period, the crew planned to shoot scenes from the waist up to minimize the impact of his injury on the filming process.
