Actor Morgan Freeman is reported to be in serious condition, following a car accident Sunday night, according to CNN.com.
The news outlet reports that the Oscar-winning actor is currently being treated at Memphis Regional Medical Center, due to injuries sustained from a car accident in Tallahatchie County, Mississippi.
A spokesperson for the Mississippi Highway Patrol said Freeman was driving a 1997 Nissan Maxima, which belonged to Demaris Meyer of Memphis, when the car left the rural highway and flipped several times.
"There's no indication that either alcohol or drugs were involved," the spokesperson said. Both Freeman and Meyer were wearing seat belts, and the woman's condition was not immediately available.
"They had to use the jaws of life to extract him from the vehicle," Clay McFerrin, editor of Sun Sentinel in Charleston, Mississippi, told the AP. "He was lucid, conscious. He was talking, joking with some of the rescue workers at one point."
