Morgan Freeman

We have sad news to report – It appears beloved thespian Morgan Freeman is in serious condition after being involved in a car crash. CNN reports the following:

CNN affilliate WMC of Memphis reported that he was in a car accident in Tallahatchie County, Mississippi, about 100 miles south of Memphis, late Sunday.

According to The Associated Press, Mississippi Highway Patrol spokesman Sgt. Ben Williams said Freeman was driving a 1997 Nissan Maxima belonging to Demaris Meyer of Memphis when the car left a rural highway and flipped several times shortly before midnight Sunday.

“There’s no indication that either alcohol or drugs were involved,” Williams said, according to the AP. Both Freeman and Meyer were wearing seat belts, Williams reported. The woman’s condition was not immediately available.

“They had to use the jaws of life to extract him from the vehicle,” Clay McFerrin, editor of Sun Sentinel in Charleston, Mississippi, told the AP. “He was lucid, conscious. He was talking, joking with some of the rescue workers at one point.”

Shia was last week, now Morgan Freeman. Someone is using auto-voodoo on celebrities this month.

This is troubling news and we certainly hope Freeman pulls through, and recovers quickly. We will be sure to keep you up to date on his condition, and are hoping for nothing less than a clean bill of health.

  1. oh boo hoo a great actor got injured and the world cries. Who gives a fuck if he got injured, do you know him? nah didnt think so. If your going to get all peta on us you might as well grief over world hunger or the AIDS epidemic. Until then, you can go hop in your 97 maxima, stfu and maybe be thankful that you even have one…

  2. My local newspaper had an article about this.

    “Bystanders converged on the accident scene trying to get a glimpse of the actor, McFerrin said. When one person tried to snap a photo with a cell phone camera, Freeman said jokingly, ‘no freebies, no freebies,’ McFerrin said.”

  3. Okay who really cares what car he was driving? A human being was hurt seriously and you all think its open mic night at the comedy club. I don’t expect all celebs to flaunt their wealth by being too good to drive this type of car, some are very humble. Not that the car was his.

    I’d like to point out too that serious condition is not the worst condition to be in, so it is very believable he was joking around with emt’s. I was in a roll over car accident, listed as critical but was very lucid at the scene and able to answer all the questions the authorities asked me, even remember giving my SSN.

    He is okay; he’s not in a life threatening condition. I think having learned that the best important topic up for discussion is the fact that he was driving an 11 year old Maxima. Clearly others feel the same way.

    What does Christ have to do with anything that’s been discussed?

    Being surprised that a multi millionaire actor is driving a 10year old maxima is not odd one bit. What’s odd is your notion that to argue such a thing would result in him driving a 300k sports car. I think something a little newer and more upscale would be a little more “normal”. You don’t have to imply that finding confusion in his choice of car means the person confused feels he should have been driving a race car.

  6. It wasn’t Morgan’s car. The car was registered to his passenger, not to him. And even if it was his car, WHO CARES? He’s not Diddy, for fuck’s sake. He’s a 71 year old man. If he was rolling in a Ferarri, I’d be shocked.

  7. its very believeable for him to drive a 97 maxima, cuz conan obrien drives a 98 ford taurus, and steve martin use to drive a 98 corolla when he did shop girl

    You can be in serious condition but lack intense pain and be able to communicate with people. Every source I’ve read has listed him as serious, I think it was simply a doctor diagnosing too extreme in insure Mr. Freeman recieved the best care, in the quickest way.

  9. actually some celebrities are known to rent lower end cars to not have the big sign above their nice car saying: LOOK AT ME…LOOK AT MY NICE CAR….I’M FAMOUS

  10. How does my question go out the window simply because it was a rental? If I’m Morgan Freeman I’m not driving a 97 maxima even if it’s a rental, you ignorant s.o.b.
