Actor Morgan Freeman was involved in a serious car accident.
Via AP:
Morgan Freeman has been injured in car accident in Mississippi and is in a Memphis hospital.
Regional Medical Center spokeswoman Kathy Stringer says Freeman is in serious condition.
Ashley Norris, manager of the Ground Zero Blues Club in Clarksdale that is owned by Freeman, confirmed the actor was in a wreck. Norris said she had no other details.
The accident apparently occurred in Tallahatchie County Mississippi, but the sheriff’s department referred calls to the Mississippi Highway Patrol. A highway patrol spokesman was not immediately available for comment.
Update: We hear that Morgan Freeman is responding and talking to the doctors and nurses on staff at the hospital that he’s in but is still in serious condition. His vehicle flipped over several times during the accident.
Another Update: Morgan Freeman’s rep has confirmed that he broke his shoulder and arm but expects him to make a “good” recovery.
Mediaoutrage- We wish Morgan Freeman a speedy recovery.

We doubt that Bernie Mac is dead. We hear that he was in serious condition from his stint of pneumonia but we wish him a speedy recovery.
