'Battered' Harrison Ford survives crash landing on southern California golf course (Fox News)

Actor Harrison Ford was in fair-to-moderate condition late Thursday after his two-seater plane crash-landed on a golf course in Venice, Calif. shortly after he reported engine failure and told air-traffic controllers he was returning to the airport.

His representative Ina Treciokas said in a statement to FOX411 late Thursday that Ford "had no other choice but to make an emergency landing, which he did safely." She added that the "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones" star was "banged up" and receiving treatment, but that his injuries were not life-threatening and he is "expected to make a full recovery."
