Police are still unsure as to what the cause was behind Morgan Freeman’s car accident on Sunday night, but the latest theory is that the 71-year-old Oscar winner fell asleep at the wheel right before his 1997 Nissan Maxima crashed.
Freeman and a female passenger were driving on Highway 32 in Tallahatchie County last night when the Dark Knight star allegedly lost control of his vehicle, flipping the car several times. The actor was apparently on his way home to Charleston when the crash occurred.
Both Freeman and his passenger were airlifted to a nearby hospital. While Freeman’s injuries were originally cited as “servere,” Bill Luckett, a friend of the actor’s, said that his pal was now “sitting up and talking at the hospital.”
According to an unnamed source, Freeman has “broken several ribs and injured his knee.”
