The Dark Knight actor Morgan Freeman is recovering from surgery after a dramatic car crash Sunday night.
“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 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, and family friend Demaris Meyer, 48, were driving on a rural road in Mississippi near the actor’s home when his car careened off the road and flipped over before landing upright in a ditch.
The two were airlifted to the Regional Medical Center in Memphis, where the actor was treated for a broken arm, broken elbow and shoulder damage, his rep said yesterday.
Hospital spokeswoman Kathy Stringer said Tuesday that Freeman remained in serious condition.
