Morgan Freeman Accident Update

Image by wenn.com

As we had reported earlier this morning, Morgan Freeman was involved in a "serious accident" in Mississippi and had to be airlifted to Regional Medical Center in Memphis, Tennessee after suffering from multiple injuries.

Good news is Morgan is said to be in "good spirits" despite the fact that he's suffering from several broken ribs and a bad knee injury.

Morgan reportedly lost control of his car, flipping it several times. "They had to use the Jaws of Life to extract him from the vehicle. He was lucid, conscious. He was talking, joking with some of the rescue workers at one point."

We'll keep you posted on his status!

First I wish to thank everyone for their kind thoughts and words of encouragement. It has meant much to both me and my family. Thank you. Second, I wish all to know that I am doing fine and recovering most splendidly. It was a bad accident, but I owed my life to having worn my seatbelt. Please--please--also wear your safety belt and make sure love ones do as well. And you can bet, you will see me back in action. So stay tuned for a new movie I'll be in and proud to be part: Rendezvous with Rama, based on the Arthur C. Clark novel. May God, in all His infinite wisdom guide you all and His peace be upon you. Morg

God bless you Morgan,my prayers are with and yours.

4:12AM 08/06/08 Chris

morgan i sure hope for your speedy recovery and my prayers go out to you. but is it true you were driving a 97 nissan maxima? why werent you driving a Bentley or perhaps a Mercedes s66 amg or maybe a BMW 750 or even a range rover? had you been driving one of these cars that implement the latest in safety technology such as side curtain airbags, knee blockers, reinforced door panels, seat mounted airbags, etc., you may have possibly walked out without even a scratch. the 97 nissan maxima is known to have less than a 5 star safety rating and frankly its over 10 years old. im only writing this because i love you and i think you need to not drive 97 nissan maxima's especially since you are probably worth at least 100 million dollars.

3:55AM 08/06/08 Sherry

Mr. Freeman God said "Lean On Me" and He will heal your injuries expeditiously. You are in my prayers for a full recovery. God Bless you
