After being airlifted to a hospital from a serious car crash, Morgan Freeman is recovering and has already made some good progress.
“Morgan is doing well after his surgery last night to reconnect nerves and repair damage in his left arm and hand,” his spokesperson, Donna Lee, said in a statement Tuesday.
“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.”
Freeman, 71, was driving in Mississippi’s Tallahatchie County with a female passenger when his car went off the road.
The car rolled several times. A police officer on scene reported the wreck to be “as bad as they get”.
The jaws of life had to be used in order to remove the two passengers from the wreckage.
