A Morgan Freeman Car Accident Update, in Which Things Don't Sound As Dire As We Feared: News reports claim the star of Wanted and The Dark Knight was "lucid, conscious," at the time of the rescue. "He was talking, joking with some of the rescue workers at one point." When someone tried to take a mobile phone picture at the accident site, he joked, "No freebies, no freebies." His condition is still listed as serious, with only a broken arm specified among his various injuries. Fellow wreck survivor Shia—his own hand currently "crushed" but recovering—is giving him a fist-bump from the heart. [commercialappeal.com]

Whew. Man, I really didn't want this to turn out bad. Get well soon, Morgan!

I never thought I'd see the day when the Commercial Appeal was cited on Defamer.

@NoWireHangers:
Just like when the cops leaking details on Heath Ledger's death last January.

Thank God he's okay. Cameraphone pictures at the crash site? That's pretty disgusting.

After God took Jimmy Stewart and Gregory Peck, He has to leave us Morgan Freeman. Otherwise there would be nothing to live for.

But was he on his way to buy a pop-a-shot machine?

Don't get too relieved. Car wrecks at the age of 70 and can be pretty dicey, even with "relatively minor" injuries such as broken arms. The stress put on aging/ailing internal organs (especially pulmonary) in those circumstances is considerable.

Oh please don't die Mr. Freeman, you're one of the few saving graces of today's media.

Good news, although Danny Glover should remain by his phone in the event Freeman's condition deteriorates.
