Steve9347 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 link Actor Morgan Freeman hospitalized at The MED after serious car accident Updated: Aug 4, 2008 11:06 AM MEMPHIS, TN (WMC-TV) - Academy Award winning actor Morgan Freeman was involved in a serious car accident Sunday night in north Mississippi. 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. The condition of Freeman's passenger has not been released. Freeman, who won an Academy Award for his performance in 2004's Million Dollar Baby, is a co-owner of the Ground Zero Blues Club in Memphis. He currently stars in the Batman sequel The Dark Night. I REALLY hope he comes out of this one alright... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milkman delivers Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Wow, the posters on IMDB are classless. There are already a bunch of threads saying "RIP" all over there. And yeah, the Maxima thing is weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Lucsious Fox would never be driving a 97 Maxima. And he would never overcorrect either. That guy knows how to drive the batmobile, he could certainly drive a Maxima Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Good news from the cnn.com updated article "He's resting quietly and has some fractures. Nothing life-threatening. Nothing permanent," Luckett told the newspaper. "He's in good spirits, but he's in some pain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
