Sad News. Actor Morgan Freeman was airlifted to the hospital after he was involved in a serious car accident in Tennessee. Authorities say that Freeman was driving a 1997 Nissan Maxima belonging to Demaris Meyer of Memphis when the car left a rural highway and flipped several times shortly before midnight Sunday. Regional Medical Center spokeswoman Kathy Stringer said Freeman, 71, is in serious condition.

“There’s no indication that either alcohol or drugs were involved,” police said. He said both Freeman and Meyer were wearing seat belts.

Keep him in your prayers…

The hospital where Freeman is being treated is commonly known as The Med, and is an acute-care teaching facility that serves patients within 150 miles of Memphis.
