Morgan Freeman In Car Wreck
Aug 4^th, 2008 at 1:20pm

JACKSON, Miss. - Oscar-winning actor Morgan Freeman was injured in a car accident late Sunday night and is in a hospital in Memphis, Tenn.

Regional Medical Center spokeswoman Kathy Stringer said Freeman, 71, is in serious condition. The hospital is about 90 miles north of the accident scene in rural Tallahatchie County in the Mississippi Delta.

Mississippi Highway Patrol spokesman Sgt. Ben Williams confirmed Freeman was in a wreck shortly before midnight Sunday, but said he was still gathering information and had few details Monday.

Clay McFerrin, editor of Sun Sentinel in Charleston, said he arrived at the accident scene on Mississippi Highway 32 soon after it happened about 4 miles west of Charleston, not far from where Freeman owns a home with his wife.

McFerrin said it appeared that Freeman's car was airborne went it left the highway and landed in a ditch.

"They had to use the jaws of life to extract him from the vehicle," McFerrin said. "He was lucid, conscious. He was talking, joking with some of the rescue workers at one point."

McFerrin said bystanders converged on the scene trying to get a glimpse of the actor.

When one person tried to snap a photo with a cell phone camera, Freeman joked, "no freebies, no freebies," McFerrin said.

The hospital where Freeman is being treated is commonly known as The Med, and is an acute-care teaching facility that serves patients within 150 miles of Memphis.

And I fucking hope there were more actors like Nolte around. Why Scorsese hasn't given him a job recently is beyond me. Life Lessons is one of their best works.

LOL. Yes. The Electric Company! I thought I was the only one who made reference to that show (or remembered it...).

**Freeman is suppose ably doing just fine. Nothing more than broken ribs and broken collar bone I believe I read and is expected to make a full recovery from the latest reports. That is good to know. Pretty scary from the earlier reports.. Car was pretty beat up I hear. But again, nothing serious to his injuries thankfully.

By The Way, he's a good actor. That is more than I can say for some of the Hollywood folks who get more credit than he does. He is a believable actor and that is key. Although he is basically (well totally) one dimensional and always type-cast he fits his role well. Glad he is OK.
