The Indiana Jones and Star Wars actor helped a woman in California

Used to playing the role of lifesaving in the Indiana Jones movies or as smuggler, scoundrel and Star Wars hero Hans Solo, the 75-year-old actor used his skills honed on film sets to help the injured female.

The woman was then taken to hospital for treatment for minor injuries, the official said.
It is not the first time life has imitated art for Ford - in 2014, he was crushed by a hydraulic door on the Millennium Falcon spaceship while filming Star Wars: The Force Awakens at Pinewood Studios.
Speaking about that incident, his wife of seven years, Calista Flockhart, told Jimmy Kimmel she didn’t rush to his aid immediately when she was told about his accident.

She said: "The producer called me and she said, ‘Hi, Calista. I have some bad news. Harrison has been hurt. He was standing on the Millennium Falcon and . . . the door fell . . .’
"And I thought that he was on some commercial airline and the door flew off, and he fell out of the plane . . . I called a friend of mine and I said, ‘What the hell is the Millennium Falcon? I have never heard of that airline.’"
