Morgan Freeman

Just last week I wrote how some believe the movie Batman "Dark Knight" is jinxed due to the deaths and bad incidents associated with it. Today, another Batman star has encountered tragedy.

Actor Morgan Freeman met in an accident, where his car flipped several times after flying off the highway into a ditch. Emergency services had to use the Jaws of Life to remove him from the wreck, then transported him to a neighboring state for medical treatment. He broke his arm, shoulder and collarbone.

Morgan Freeman seriously injured in car crash

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Oscar-winning actor Morgan Freeman was hospitalized in serious condition Monday after the car he was driving left a rural road in the Mississippi Delta and flipped several times.

The actor "has a broken arm, broken elbow and minor shoulder damage, but is in good spirits," according to a statement from Donna Lee, Freeman's publicist. A hospital spokeswoman said Freeman was in serious condition but would not discuss his injuries.
