Looks like a nose in. Without reading the link Id say engine failure
 
Hes stable with a few lacerations on his head. Nothing too serious. Glad it wasnt much worse. Dont know if I could handle losing Spock & Han Solo in the same week.

He did a pretty damn good job landing on a golf course and not having a motor.

He got damn lucky that course was there. If not he would have had to attempt a landing on the street.

Ofcourse any landing you walk away from is a good one.

Idk how old the plane was, but it was a WWII replica iirc. So it may have a retro shape but some modern tech. Thats just my guess.

According to sources it wasn't a replica.

A rep for Ford says, "Harrison was flying a WW2 vintage plane today

From the article
After crash-landing a vintage airplane in L.A. Thursday,Harrison Ford is in stable condition in a local hospital.

Details of the crash at Penmar Golf Course are still under investigation, but a rep for Ford, 72, confirmed he was flying the World War II-era aircraft alone when it had engine trouble during takeoff.

PEOPLE spoke to Rick Dake of Aviation Consulting Experts, who says that given the reported circumstances, "Everything he did was perfect."

The aircraft Ford was flying, a Ryan PT-22 Recruit (the model was originally used for pilot training), is "not a forgiving airplane," Dake says. "A lot of new pilots in the war crashed that airplane. When it's slow, like the engine has stopped, it would want to flip over on its back. That alone is testament to the great ability Harrison Ford had. He made a 180-degree turn with the engine seizing up on him. He almost made it to the runway."
 
I thought he showed great courtesy to those on the course when he shouted "FOUR" just before hitting the fairway.

Seriously, glad he was not injured worse than he was......Not his first crash though
