Apparently it’s Sobering News Day on The Superficial. Morgan Freeman was seriously injured in an accident late last night and is in serious condition at a Mississippi hospital. His car flipped several times after veering off the highway and rescue workers needed to use the jaws of life to get the 71-year-old actor out. Though he appeared to be coherent and even joked with onloookers, according to the AP:
“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.
When Oscar-winning actor Morgan Freeman gets pulled out of a massive wreck, you don’t try to take his picture with your phone. You shake the man’s hand, dammit! I’m telling you there’s no such as etiquette these days.
The Superficial wishes Morgan a speedy recovery and not just because I’m afraid to see someone else build Batman kickass shit in the next movie. (But if it ends up being Ashton Kutcher, I’ll kill myself.)

Thats pretty upsetting :-(

I hope he gets prostate cancer.
FRIST!!! | August 4, 2008 at 2:19 pm
He’s the best (supporting) actor of our time! Although, it looks like in real life as well as in movies, he needs a white guy in the driver’s seat.
big z | August 4, 2008 at 2:21 pm
He is my favorite actor. He is seeking someone online now. I saw him at “”"”"”"”"”W e a l t h y L o v e s.co m”"”"”"”"”" last week. What kind of relationship is he looking for on that site?
J@cko | August 4, 2008 at 2:23 pm
Morgan is an outstanding actor and he seems to be a really nice guy. I wish him to get well quickly.
it's me Fuckers! | August 4, 2008 at 2:25 pm
he’s 71?! Holy shit! He looks awesome!! I hope he gets better soon.
Sid | August 4, 2008 at 2:29 pm
I wonder how many emergency workers thought that using the jaws of life on Morgan was like tonging a recalcitrant sausage off the barbecue after it slipped between the gaps on the grill.

I’m handcuffed to a fence in Mississippi.
My girlfriend blows a boozy good-bye kiss.
I see flying squirrels and nightmares of stigmata.
Then awakening to find my Trans-Am gone.

“His car flipped several times after veering off the highway”
I’m telling you, those roadside crack dealers are very distracting to … certain … drivers.

Vanquish | August 4, 2008 at 2:39 pm
Get well soon!
emily | August 4, 2008 at 2:39 pm
I suggest we get together, kidnap Dane Cook, bring him to Morgan Freeman’s hospital room, and sacrifice him in a voodoo lifeforce-swapping ceremony so Morgan Freeman may live. Also, we could throw in Carlos Mencia in case that might bring back Heath Ledger. Win-win all around.
justlikehoney1 | August 4, 2008 at 2:42 pm
@13 – Awesome idea. Let’s do it!!!
Rick | August 4, 2008 at 2:48 pm
Did one of the EMTs do a gravelly voice-over about life and death and lessons learned while they were using the jaws of life?
whatsonmycameraphone | August 4, 2008 at 2:52 pm

Happens all the time when the driver’s watching porn on the dashboard DVD player. In this case, I guarantee you it was the “Pigtails and Round Asses” series.
sxbby963 | August 4, 2008 at 2:56 pm
Huh. #2 and 3, you both are just sick. I think you should both STFU, assholes.

Horse | August 4, 2008 at 3:04 pm
If Freeman dies Nolan will surely use this to intorduce us to Robin, which will be played, unfortunately, by Ashton Kutcher…
yabadabadude | August 4, 2008 at 3:06 pm
I thought he died a few years ago. Oh well, it’s not too late.
Matthew | August 4, 2008 at 3:18 pm

bootlips | August 4, 2008 at 3:20 pm
If he was still in Africa he would have starved to death a long time ago.
Alicia | August 4, 2008 at 3:33 pm

The accident happened in MS, but he’s being treated in Memphis.

Natalie | August 4, 2008 at 8:38 pm
That’s unfortunate, I wish the best for him and his family.
Also, I can’t believe he’s 71! He looks so much younger! I would have guessed 58.
Mr. IHT | August 4, 2008 at 10:05 pm
Get well Mr. Freemen, but just in case Samuel L Jackson, would make a kick ass replacement in the next batman movie
