The Oscar-winning actor Morgan Freeman said to be in a serious condition after the car he was driving flipped over several times late on Sunday. Freeman was driving near his home in Charleston, Mississippi, at the time of the accident. The actor and a female companion were cut free by emergency workers before being airlifted to a hospital 90 miles away in Memphis, Tennessee. The editor of the Charleston Sun Sentinel newspaper, who arrived at the scene shortly after the accident, said Freeman had been conscious and talking to rescuers. "They had to use the jaws of life [hydraulic cutters] to extract him from the vehicle," Clay McFerrin said. "He was lucid, conscious. He was talking, joking with some of the rescue workers at one point."
UPDATE: Freeman is at The Med in Memphis. It is where Lifeflighted patients are taken to. It has the highest level trauma unit in the Mid-South area. It has been reported that he is in serious but stable condition. It has also been announced that Freeman broke his arm and his shoulder.
