Morgan Freeman in car crash.

Breaking with Hollywood tradition, Morgan Freeman was in a car crash over the weekend that did NOT involve alcohol in any way, shape or form. eonline reports:

The Oscar-winning Batman sidekick is listed in serious condition in a Memphis hospital following a Sunday night car accident, says hospital spokeswoman Kathy Stringer.

Mississippi Highway Patrol spokesman Ben Williams told Memphis' NBC affiliate that Freeman and an unidentified female passenger were heading east on state Highway 32 when his vehicle went off the road. Freeman then overcorrected the vehicle, causing his 1997 Nissan Maxima to flip several times before coming to a rest.

CBS' Memphis affiliate, WREG, reported that Freeman may have fallen asleep at the wheel. Rescue crews needed the jaws of life to free him from the vehicle, but he apparently was coherent enough to talk to state troopers at the scene.

Sounds like a bad one to me. I'll keep you posted.
