Oscar-winning actor Morgan Freeman was hospitalized today after the car he was driving left a rural road in the Mississippi Delta and flipped over several times.
Freeman, 71, was airlifted to the Regional Medical Center in Memphis, Tenn., about 90 miles north of the accident in rural Tallahatchie County.
The actor “has a broken arm, broken elbow and minor shoulder damage, but is in good spirits,” according to a statement from Donna Lee, Freeman’s publicist. A hospital spokeswoman said Freeman was in serious condition but would not discuss his injuries.
“He is having a little bit of surgery this afternoon or tomorrow to help correct the damage,” Lee’s statement said. Â
Mr. Freeman is looking forward to a full recovery. Chismetime.com wishes him the best.
