Morgan Freeman in Accident

Actor Morgan Freeman was recently involved in a car accident near his home in Mississippi. The car "flipped end-over-end before landing upright in a ditch," writes a reporter for the Minneapolis Star Tribune in an Aug. 5 article.

Freeman had a broken arm, elbow and shoulder damage, according to newspaper reports, but now is recovering after surgery. Apparently Freeman has no idea what caused him to veer off the highway, and thinks he may have fallen asleep. There is no indication that drugs or alcohol were involved.

Aside from this bit of news, I think Morgan Freeman is a great actor. I feel his most notable movies (of those I've seen) include: March of the Penguins, Million Dollar Baby, Se7en, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, The Shawshank Redemption, Unforgiven, Lean on Me, and Driving Miss Daisy. He has, of course, most recently been in The Dark Knight, as well.

Thankfully he seems to be OK from this accident, and hopefully we'll see more great acting from him still yet to come.
