Morgan Freeman in Critical Condition

Posted by Whit Honea

Morgan Freeman was in a car crash in Memphis that has left the star in critical condition.   There was a female passenger in the car that was also taken to the hospital.

Authorities believe that Freeman may have fallen asleep at the wheel.  They say that is car flipped several times.

Morgan Freeman's kids are all grown now and after 30 minutes on Google and Wikipedia I still can't tell you whether or not he has grandchildren [added- he has 10], so perhaps his story isn't easily justified to the pages of FameCrawler, but still, he's Morgan Freeman and who doesn't care about him?

Freeman may not think fondly on his time as an actor on "The Electric Company," but I do.  He's gone on to bigger and better things, but he did his part in shaping my childhood, and for that I am grateful.

Best of luck to Mr. Freeman and his passenger.

Hello Everyone,

Mr. Freeman is one my all time favorite actors, my he and his friend have a speedy recovery.

It is my understanding, that Mr. Freeman's accident occurred in Tallahatchie county, Mississippi, outside of Rulevile, Mississippi, for Mr. Freeman has a restaurant in Clarksdale, MS, which is located near Ruleville, MS, so it is conceivable he could be in this area [driving].  I have also heard reports, that he and his friend were air lifted from the accident site, to a hospital in Memphis, TN.  I have also heard, that he was not asleep at the wheel, but distracted in conversation, as a result he auto left the road.

In any case, I hope all goes well for him and his family, and the same for his friend.

Sincerely,

Michael D. Correro
