Harrison Ford Rescues Car Crash Victim
by EG
Harrison Ford, heroic star of Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, is not as young as he used to be, but he can still be a hero when it counts. Ford was reportedly on the scene of an accident in California over the weekend, and the actor helped get the driver out of the car. The actor wasn't the only hero on the scene - several other samaritans also reportedly helped - but he didn't hesitate to do his part.

Harrison Ford is a real-life Han Solo. The 75-year-old helped rescue a woman who crashed her car in Santa Paula, California, on Sunday, November 19, authorities confirmed to the Ventura County Star.
Santa Paula Police Department senior officer Matt Alonzo told the local newspaper that the unidentified woman was driving down Highway 126 when her sedan swerved off the road and crashed into a tree. Ford was in the area with a friend and headed over to assist after hearing the accident.
“He acted as a good Samaritan, just like everybody else, and tried to help before emergency services arrived,” Alonzo told the Ventura County Star.
The Star Wars actor and several other bystanders helped the woman out of her sedan. She was the only occupant in the vehicle and escaped with minor injuries. The California Highway Patrol is investigating the cause of the accident, Alonzo said.
The Ventura CHP tells Us Weekly that Ford did not stick around to provide a witness statement. He stopped to make sure the woman was uninjured and then left. Ford’s rep had no comment.
This isn’t the first time the Oscar nominee has offered aid during an emergency. He helped direct traffic during a pileup in a New York City tunnel in September.
