Interesting that he would be driving a 1997 Nissan Maxima. Some people keep their heads on their shoulders and do not get fame and money go to their heads.

Hope you get well soon, Morgan,

19. The plot thickens..... he was driving, it was late at night, he was headed home to his local ranch....let's hope the woman in the car with him was his wife.....

Relax guys, he will be OK, broken arm & shoulder, you don't die from those.....

20. HE DRIVES A 1997 MAXIMA? HUH?? HAHAH Mississippi Highway Patrol spokesperson Ben Williams said Freeman and a female passenger were traveling eastbound on Mississippi Highway 32 in Tallahatchie County when his vehicle went off the edge of the road. Freeman overcorrected, flipping his 1997 Nissan Maxima several times before coming to a rest.

23. The man was in a car accident and is in serious condition...is the "crazy eyes" mad tabloid style picture really necessary?

24. Morgan Freeman is one of the few public figures that the press has not had the oppurtunity or gossip on to destroy his public image. He has remained not only one of our times greatest actors but also provides us an example of how to conduct yourself as a gentleman and continue to use good judgement and morals even in todays hollywood world. I wish for you and your friend a speedy recovery and look forward to spending many more movie nights with you.
