We're sad to report that Hollywood actor, Morgan Freeman, was involved in a serious accident resulting in several injuries. He was airlifted to Regional Medical Center in Memphis, Tennesee where he is undergoing treatment.

Morgan reportedly lost control of his car, flipping it several times. "They had to use the Jaws of Life to extract him from the vehicle. He was lucid, conscious. He was talking, joking with some of the rescue workers at one point."
