Oscar winning actor Morgan Freeman was in a serious car accident on Sunday night in Memphis.
"He's resting quietly and has some fractures. Nothing life-threatening. Nothing permanent," said Bill Luckett, Freeman's business partner. "He's in good spirits, but he's in some pain." According to The Associated Press, the car Freeman was driving left a rural highway and flipped several times. A spokesmen for the Mississippi Highway patrol states that there is no indication that drugs and alcohol were involved and that Freeman was wearing a seat belt. The jaws of life were required to remove the actor from the vehicle.
Morgan Freeman is known for his roles the popular films: "Million Dollar Baby", "Driving Miss Daisy", and "The Shawshank Redemption". However, for a kid of the 70's like me, he'll always be Easy Reader from The Electric Company.
Get well soon, Mr. Freeman!
