Here's hoping for a speedy recovery.

If he was joking about pics, then he'll probably be fine.

1997 Maxima? I can see buying a car a few years old, even if you're doing well financially, but a '97?

He's pretty old - takes a long time to heal from traumas at that age. I hope he does make it - but he might not be working for a while.

One of my favourite actors. Lets hope his condition improves ASAP.

The Maxima is not his..... It was a female friends car who was the passenger.

My prayers go out to both of them......

from tmz:

The Mississppi Highway Patrol has identified Freeman's passenger as Demaris Meyer. Freeman was driving Meyer's 1997 Nissan Maxima eastbound on Highway 32 when he ran off the edge of the road, flipping the car. We're told both were wearing seat belts at the time.

And get this -- an editor for a local Mississippi newspaper tells the AP when one looky-loo whipped out a cell phone at the scene of Morgan Freeman's accident and tried to snap a pic of the actor, Freeman joked, "no freebies, no freebies." Everyone's a journalist these days!

Cops say Freeman was coherent and talking to police and paramedics.

UPDATE: Freeman's rep confirms the actor broke his shoulder and arm, but expects him to make a "good" recovery.
