Actor Morgan Freeman is being treated at a Memphis hospital following a late-night car accident near his home in Mississippi.
The wreck occurred around 11:30 Sunday night, just north of Ruleville, Miss. in rural Tallahatchie County. The site of the accident is located about 90 miles south of Memphis.
Freeman was airlifted from the crash scene to the Regional Medical Center in Memphis, Tenn. A spokesprson for the hospital said the actor suffered a broken arm and some other injuries, but is expected to fully recover.
A woman in the car with Freeman, Demaris Meyer, 48, of Memphis, was also injured in the one-car crash. According to police sources, both she and Freeman were conscious when help arrived.
Freeman, 71, was driving Meyer’s 1997 Nissan Maxima eastbound on Miss. 32 at about 11:30 p.m. Sunday when the car left the road and flipped several times, said Sgt. Ben Williams of the Mississippi Highway Patrol. "He just told them he ran off the road," said Williams.
Miss. 32 is a two-lane road with very narrow shoulders where the crash occurred, and Williams said the road was slick from a rain that afternoon.

Granted, it was the passenger's car, but still; WTF is the world coming to that Morgan Freeman's rolling in a 11 year old Nissan?
