As you have probably already heard, actor Morgan Freeman was in a serious car accident in northern Mississippi and is in serious condition. Freeman, 71, had to be extracted from the car with the jaws of life. He was conscious and in good spirits during the rescue and is looking forward to a speedy recovery.His passenger, Demaris Meyer - described as a mutual friend of Freeman and his business partner Bill Luckett - was released from the hospital Monday. The car, a 1997 Nissan Maxima, was hers. Seems Morgan was driving Miss Meyer somewhere around 11:30pm Sunday night, when he over corrected and the car went airborne, flipping several times, and landing right-side up in a ditch. Both were airlifted to a Memphis hospital. (full story here)
According to a CNN.com report, "My understanding of it is she was going to give him a ride home and she did not know the way, so he was going to drive the vehicle," Bill Rogers said. Rogers is a former police officer and sheriff's deputy and witness to the accident.
I sure hope this doesn't turn out to be scandalous. I'm giving this a "busted" label just for G.P.
Get well soon Morgan.
