Morgan Freeman’s rep said the actor “is in good spirits” following surgery on Monday night (August 4), after his car accident in Mississippi’s Tallahatchie County late Sunday evening.
“Morgan is doing well after surgery last night to reconnect nerves and to repair damage to his left arm and hand at the Elvis Presley Memorial Trauma Center at The MED, at the Regional Medical Center at Memphis,” Donna Lee said in a statement.
“The surgery lasted approximately 4 and a half hours including recovery and he is in good spirits and was visiting with family members this morning. He was walking this AM, and is looking forward to his release as soon as possible.”
Lee adds, “Thanks from Morgan to the many who sent good wishes and prayers.”
The 71-year-old Oscar winner was driving on Mississippi Highway 32 when his car left the road and overturned a number of times before crashing at approximately 11:30pm Sunday night.
