onOscar-winning actor Morgan Freeman was in serious condition at a Memphis hospital after being involved in a car accident Sunday night, according to hospital officials.
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, Freeman was “lucid” when the rescue team found his car.
“They had to use the jaws of life to extract him from the vehicle,” Clay McFerrin, editor of Sun Sentinel in Charleston, Mississippi, said. “He was lucid, conscious. He was talking, joking with some of the rescue workers at one point.”
Morgan Freeman, ladies and gentlemen: tough, classy, and 71 years old.

The United States of America's first African-American president.
I hope he's okay. I love him.
He drives a 1997 Nissan Maxima.
Only a tool or a reporter refers to rescue equipment as "the jaws of life."
Nah, the car was the passenger's. That would be awesome if true, though.
wishing him well, but youre outro should have stated "tough, classy and playing the same character in all of his movies."
Don't die on me Morgan!
No one else, save Sigorney Weaver, could add such gravitas to a documentary.
Another argument against electing a 72 year old.
My favorite male actor, bar none. I read this this morning and felt an inch tall. I truly hope he is OK...
Get him the hell out of Mississippi and to L.A. where he can get the best care.

m. freeman wasn't the first african american president ( i'm assuming you're referring to the chracter he played 1998's deep impact) james earl jones played the first african american president in a film called 'the man'in 1972. he became president after a freak accident killed the president and speaker of the house, and the vice president is too ill to assume the position. jones was the senate president pro tempore next in line, and in so doing he became ( to use the lingo of the 70's )'the man'.

Morgan Freeman is HOT!!! [and I can't figure out why - he's not that good looking - maybe its the voice....]
This is sad.
Hope he recovers.
Morgan Freeman's a national treasure. Hope he's okay.
Huh.
Personally I could do without yet another performance of Morgan Freeman's Wise Old Mentor™. I hope he makes a full recovery and vows to stop repeating himself.
I agree with @16.
Wow.
PC. Susan Hudgens. You're a piece of shit. Don't post when you agree with me. Fuck off. Die.
