OFF THE PRESS FROM MEDIATAKEOUT.COM

August 04, 2008. Here's a report that MediaTakeOut.com just received from one of its readers. We confirmed that Mr. Freeman WAS IN FACT in a car accident:

I just got news from a very reliable source telling me that Morgan Freeman was just in a pretty bad car accident around 1:45AM in the town that he lives in which is Charleston, MS.

I was told that he and [a female friend] had been out hitting up bars and they had been doing a lot of drinking but no one knows where they were headed to around the time of the wreck. The town that he lives in is a very small town so they had to air lift Morgan Freeman to the Med in Memphis, TN.

I was told that his wife was out of state on business but was contacted and was told about the wreck but I wonder if they told her that he was with [a female friend]. Not only that, [the female friend] even wanted to be air lifted with him to the Med, now how trifling is that.
