Harrison Ford is well on his road to recovery, after being released from hospital.

The veteran actor had suffered critical injuries after his plane crashed in early March, resulting in a three week stay UCLA Medical Centre.

A source has told People that Harrison already up to his old tricks, as he was spotted driving in LA over the weekend.

Harrison, 72, was rushed to hospital on Friday after the vintage WWII-era 2-seater fighter plane he was piloting, crashed into a golf course in the Venice area of California

“He was moaning and in pain,” spinal surgeon Sanjay Khurana, who just happened to be on the golf course at the time of the crash, told America’s ABC News. “He was stunned a bit.”

NBC News reported that the Indiana Jones star suffered “lacerations to the head and possible fractures”.

His wife Calista has been a huge factor in his healing process, who was by his side daily.

“She drops Liam off in the morning and then spends hours with Harrison,” a source told People.

“She brings him food and reading material.”

Despite the fact the Star Wars actor is back at home, he still does have a lot of healing to go. Reportedly Harrison is undergoing therapy for his broken pelvis.

Dr. Beny Charchian, the founder of the Joint and Spine Institute in Beverly Hills, explained why therapy is so essential in the injuries Harrison sustained.

“The therapy is primarily stabilization exercises and also gait training, like actually getting the patient up and moving again – pretty much just leaving how to walk while minimizing the main,” Dr. Beny explained.

Harrison should be fighting fit in time to walk the red carpet at the premiere of his next movie, “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”, where he’ll reprise his role as Han Solo.

With his doting wife and the force with him, we’re sure Harrison will be flying in no time!
