Firm guilty in Harrison Ford's accident on 'Star Wars' set

In a court hearing, one of the film companies behind "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" pleaded to criminal charges over the on-set accident that left Harrison Ford with a broken leg.
The Disney-owned Foodles Production (UK) Ltd admitted to safety breaches in two criminal charges which were drawn against it while two more were withdrawn, reported the Independent.
Ford, 71, was hit by a hydraulic metal door on the Pinewood set of fictional spacecraft the Millenium Falcon in June 2014. The accident left the actor with a broken left leg and he had to be airlifted to hospital.
Prosecutor Andrew Marshall said in a court in Milton Keynes that Ford had walked through a door on the structure believing it to be inactive.

As Ford walked underneath, however, it was remotely operated and consequently pinned the actor to the ground in an accident which posed a "risk of death."
"It could have killed somebody. The fact that it didn't was because an emergency stop was activated," he said.
The production company will be sentenced on August 22.
