Freeman critically injured in crash

Morgan Freeman is critically ill after a car crash, a US hospital has confirmed.

A spokesman for the Regional Medical Centre in Memphis, Tennessee, said the 71-year-old The Dark Knight actor's condition was "serious".

Mississippi state troopers told showbiz website TMZ.com that Freeman was involved in the crash at around 11.30pm local time on Sunday (5.30am BST), north of the small town of Ruleville. He was airlifted from the accident scene to the hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, where he is being treated.

An unidentified female passenger was also in the car and her condition was not known.

The hospital, commonly known as The Med, is an acute-care teaching facility which serves patients within 150 miles of Memphis.

Ashley Norris, manager of the Ground Zero Blues Club in Clarksdale, Mississippi, which is owned by Freeman, confirmed the actor was in an accident but said she had no other details.

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

Mr McFerrin said it appeared that Freeman's car was airborne when it left the highway and landed in a ditch. "They had to use the jaws of life (hydraulic cutters) to extract him from the vehicle," he said. "He was lucid, conscious. He was talking, joking with some of the rescue workers at one point."

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

Freeman won an Oscar in 2005 for best performance by an actor in a supporting role for Million Dollar Baby.

Actor Morgan Freeman seriously injured in Mississippi car accident - Telegraph

Option 1:Where's Tom Cruise when you need him, y'know?
Option 2: Oh swell, now that Anonymous closed down the memphis org/mission/whateveritwas morgan's gonna fuckin DIE! Nice going.

(I heard "serious" not "critical' though)

:( Bad news is bad

But, too bad Tom Cruise wasn't there, he would've saved him!

:( Bad news is bad, scilon or not.

Freeman isn't scilon, right? Hope serious only means serious and not life threatening.

These non-Scilon actors should really stop getting into car accidents without Tom Cruise around because you know, he's the only one who can save them...

Um, I think the fuckin joke's pretty well used up now eh?

I don't think Freeman is. I was alluding to the fact it would be hillarious if it was a scilon actor (Can Tom Cruise save himself in an accident?)

Oh, i hope Mr. Freeman will be okay.

Cruise would just heal himself ;)

Damn. Very sorry to hear this.

Freeman isn't a Scilon.

No one bailed him out of the hospital and took him away to die in the Harrison Hotel.

Prayers for Mr Freeman, The Lady Passenger and All Concerned.

Oh no.
One of the best ones.

I hope his hospital knows how to touch assist or hes fucked

This news made me upset.
I do hope he is alright.

Nigga down... NNIGGGAAA DOOOOWWN!

Get well soon, Mr. Freeman! I was sad to hear this. I just, yesterday, watched Evan Almighty where he played God. Such a fine actor and seems to be a good person. Grew up watching him on the Electric Company.

I seriously doubt he's a $cilon. Seriously.

He has really put a lot of time, effort, and $$$$ into his hometown revitalization (where he resides now) in MS.

Morgan Freeman is WAY too good to be a Scilon. He eats Tom Cruise car-crash tech and shits out Oscars in his name.

My best wishes to him and for a speedy recovery.
