MORGAN FREEMAN IN GOOD SPIRITS

Morgan Freeman is in good spirits after sustaining injuries in a car accident Sunday night.


"He has a broken arm, broken elbow and minor shoulder damage but he is in good spirits," according to his rep. "He is going to have surgery this afternoon or tomorrow to correct the damage. He says he'll be okay and is looking forward to a full recovery."

Freeman, 71, was listed in "serious" condition after his car went off the edge of the road and overturned several times before coming to a stop. Freeman was driving in Tallahatchie County when the accident happened at about 11:30 p.m., according to Mississippi Highway Patrol. He was removed from the wreck using the jaws of life, then airlifted from the accident scene to the Regional Medical Center at Memphis. A passenger, identified by police as Demaris Meyer, was also in the car with Freeman.
