JACKSON, Miss. - Oscar-winning actor Morgan Freeman was injured in a car accident late Sunday night and is in a hospital in Memphis, Tenn.

Regional Medical Center spokeswoman Kathy Stringer said Freeman, 71, is in serious condition. The hospital is about 90 miles north of the accident scene in rural Tallahatchie County in the Mississippi Delta.
Mississippi Highway Patrol spokesman Sgt. Ben Williams confirmed Freeman was in a wreck shortly before midnight Sunday, but said he was still gathering information and had few details Monday.
Clay McFerrin, editor of Sun Sentinel in Charleston, said he arrived at the accident scene on Mississippi Highway 32 soon after it happened about 4 miles west of Charleston, not far from where Freeman owns a home with his wife.
McFerrin said it appeared that Freeman's car was airborne went it left the highway and landed in a ditch.
"They had to use the jaws of life to extract him from the vehicle," McFerrin said. "He was lucid, conscious. He was talking, joking with some of the rescue workers at one point."
McFerrin said bystanders converged on the scene trying to get a glimpse of the actor.
When one person tried to snap a photo with a cell phone camera, Freeman joked, "no freebies, no freebies," McFerrin said.
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.
We here at vynsane.com wish Freeman a speedy recovery, and will not even consider adding our usual snide comment to the end of this article. Morgan Freeman is possibly the greatest American actor of our time, and he is one awesome dude.
We only hope and pray that this does not signal the next phase in a "Dark Knight Curse." Because that was one amazing cast, and we already lost too much talent when Mr. Ledger passed away several months ago.
So the new internet rumor we spread is Morgan Freeman saw that little asshole Shia LeBouef, and floored it, running a solid red light so he could t-bone him for being in T-Formers and Indy 4.
All the logistics will become fuzzy over time, but people will remember the Morgan Freeman and Shia part and it will become "fact"...

My great-aunt kinda sorta knows him and sees him a lot at the grocery store (or at least has seen him a few times) and always thanks him for working to install air conditioning in schools in the south (I swear I'm not making any of this up). So yeah. Even for all his shitty casting choices (much like Samuel L. Jackson or Harrison Ford), he's still a bad ass.

JJL referred to "him" as a bad ass, so it was obviously Morgan Freeman.
No one, not even Shia LeBouef himself has ever referred to Shia LeBouef as a bad ass.

Yep, both vehicle related too, Freeman was in an automobile accident and LaBouef was in a train wreck called "Transformers", but that was a couple years ago
