It has just been reported that Morgan Freeman, 71, has been injured in a serious car accident in Mississippi. Freeman was responsive at the scene but his true condition is unknown. He was airlifted to a hospital in Memphis, TN. Early reports say that alcohol is not thought to have been a factor in the crash. You can read the updates on TMZ. I will not be responsible for all those tears.
thats his granddaughter in the pic, by the way.
word was, he was hanging a sharper curve than he expected going in, and overcompensated his steering, causing the car to go off the road and roll a few times. They had to use the jaws to get him and his passenger out.
Hope he finished his Bucket List…
A hospital in MEMPHIS? Oh man, he's dead. We only know how to treat gunshots.
Freeman came to UCLA for a lecture and we got to interview him at UCLAradio. He was so cool that afterwards he recorded a station ID for us which I always play during my show. The man is 100 kinds of awesome.
Hope he's ok
I said it on FD, and I will say it here, too: If he is A Neg, he can have any of my organs he needs. What a shame. :(
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.
Okay, that's awful. But what the hell was he doing driving a 97 Maxima??
Easy Reader you need to be okay. I swear the fucking Dark Knight is cursed.
Any word on the condition of Ms. Daisy?
See this is why I love this guy… driving a frickin 1997 Nissan Maxima. Hope he's okay.
Doc, agreed. I waited on his table over ten years ago and I said, "Could you BE any cooler?" and he laughed with that kick ass voice of his. Everyone loves him, especially because he's huge into our local charities and helping build the economy. Morgan is a god in the Memphis/Mississippi area.
What's this news about Morgan Fistman?
How long before the pics of Miley Cyrus blowing him in the driver's seat hit Myspace?
Huge fan of Morgan Freeman, hope he's ok, looks like there's a Dark Knight curse. Heath Ledger dies, Christian Bale gets extorted by his family, Maggie Gyllenhall was born as ugly as sin, and now Morgan Freeman gets hurt. Man, I'm glad I turned them down to co-star.
How many times have we told you to never let Miss Daisy do the driving!
Flipping Miss Daisy over a Few Times in a Nissan 97.
"Like a twinky…like a twinky."
Apparently he was conscious & talking at the scene - which doesn't necessarily mean anything, but hopefully it does. :(
gotdang - nice to hear he's a cool guy, though I can't say I'm surprised.
Big hoopla for nothing. The man is totally fine. He was just seen having a beer with St Peter at the Pearly Gates Bar.
As Andy Dufresne would say: That was the longest night of my life. Oh, Andy!
Why can't this happen to people that DO deserve it: like Madonna, Al Gore and Andy Dick?
Was the wman blowing him, hence the bad driving?
Sorry.
