JACKSON, Miss. - Oscar-winning actor Morgan Freeman has been injured in car accident in Mississippi and is in a hospital in Memphis, Tennessee.
Regional Medical Center spokeswoman Kathy Stringer says Freeman is in serious condition.
The hospital, commonly known as The Med, is an acute-care teaching facility that serves patients within 150 miles of Memphis.

Ashley Norris, manager of the Ground Zero Blues Club in Clarksdale that is owned by Freeman, confirmed the 71-year-old actor was in a wreck. Norris said she had no other details.
The accident apparently occurred in Tallahatchie County Mississippi, but the sheriff's department referred calls to the Mississippi Highway Patrol. A highway patrol spokesman wasn't immediately available for comment

[abomb]

Ugh. I hope it all turns out ok.

 

[MadCardDisease]

One of my favorite actors. I sure hope he pulls through.

 

[Bada0Bing]

He's got the most captivating voice I've ever heard. I hope he's okay.

Doctors have said that it's a few fractures, nothing life threatening.

Definitely one of my favorite actors. This is very sad. Hope he is ok.

 

[AZZenny]

Get well soon wishes -- he is one of my very favorites, probably #1 in that general age group. And yes, isn't his voice magnificent? Gentle, rich, clear, without any of the ponderousness or heaviness of say, James Earl Jones.

...James Earl Jones.

This..is CNN.

 

[hsandhu]

Wasnt he scheduled to play mandela in a film directed by eastwood? Hopefully that will still happen.

 

[SuperSpck]

I heard the car he was in was a 97 Sentra.

More respect for driving what drives and not driving what shines.

Batman is cursed

Who really cares about the divorce?

From USA Today: The news that the Oscar winner and his wife have been separated since December 2007 has raised suspicions that the woman who was in the car with Freeman when he crashed was his new love.
