Oscar winner Morgan Freeman is on the road to recovery after Sunday night’s horrific crash, which saw the actor and his female passenger airlifted to a nearby hospital in Memphis.
Freeman’s spokesperson, Donna Lee, said in a statement on Tuesday: “Morgan is doing well after his surgery last night to reconnect nerves and repair damage in his left arm and hand.
“The surgery last night lasted four and a half hours. He’s visiting with family this morning. As of this morning he’s up and walking around and looking forward to his release in a few days.”
The Dark Knight star’s business partner, Bill Luckett, said that the 71-year-old is anxious to head home, and hoping to be released from hospital by the end of the week.
“Morgan is up and walking around,” Luckett reported. “He’s really sore, but he’s doing better. He’s hoping to be out of the hospital by Thursday.”
Freeman was driving along Highway 32 in Mississippi’s Tallahatchie County late on Sunday night when he allegedly fell asleep at the wheel and spun off the road. His 1997 Nissan Maxima rolled several times before finally coming to a stop.
