Unhappy Morgan Freeman in Serious Condition

He's one of my favorite actors. I hope they'll be okay.

Quote:
Mississippi Highway Patrol spokesperson Ben Williams said Freeman and a female passenger were traveling eastbound on Mississippi Highway 32 in Tallahatchie County when his vehicle went off the edge of the road. Freeman overcorrected, flipping his 1997 Nissan Maxima several times before coming to a rest.

Emergency crews extracted Freeman and his passenger from their vehicle using the jaws of life. According to Williams, they were both airlifted to the Regional Medical Center in Memphis, where Freeman was listed in serious condition Monday morning.

My thoughts and prayers are with him. He is a wonderful actor.

edit: I should have also said, and his 'female companion'.

I just read it. It sounds serious. I didn't know he was old as 71. A serious accident at his age may see the end of his career. I hope he makes a full recovery.

He's the go-to actor if someone needs the role of God filled. It's gonna take more than that to take him down.

Well thank god it doesn't look serious although at his age he will need time to recover:

Quote:
Morgan Freeman is in good spirits and is planning to have surgery after sustaining injuries in a car accident Sunday night, the actor's rep said in a statement Monday afternoon.

"He has a broken arm, broken elbow and minor shoulder damage but he is in good spirits," said Donna Lee. "He is going to have surgery this afternoon or tomorrow to correct the damage. He says he'll be okay and is looking forward to a full recovery."

He had surgery to reconnect nerves and repair damage in his left arm and hand. He should be going home tomorrow.
