Terrible news coming from the Pinewood set of the much-anticipated STAR WARS EPISODE VII today as it’s been reported that Harrison Ford has injured his ankle.

Thames Valley Police were called to Pinewood Studios, where the film is shooting, in response to reports “reports of a 71-year-old man being injured by a garage door.”

Ford was airlifted to John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, where he is apparently being treated for a fracture. Reports suggest the actor was injured when the door of the Milennium Falcon fell on him.

The UK Health and Safety Executive will investigate the incident. The production will continue in the meantime.

We wish him a speedy recovery, and hope this is the only incident to befall the production.

STAR WARS: EPISODE VII opens December 15th 2015, and the untitled STAR WARS spin-off movie hits the following year on December 16th.
