Another great one, not gone but close

"Oscar-winning actor Morgan Freeman was injured in a serious car accident in Mississippi Sunday night, according to published reports. The 71-year-old actor had to be airlifted to a hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, more than 100 miles from the scene of the crash. His condition is 'serious', a hospital spokesman said. His condition was not immediately known, but he was reportedly talking to state troopers after the wreck. An unidentified female companion was also injured. It was unclear whether alcohol was a factor in the incident. Freeman lives in Charleston, Mississippi, about 30 miles from the scene of the accident."

Rico says it sounds like a post-dinner-and-drinks crash on the way home, given that the female companion wasn't identified as his wife; he hopes Mr. Freeman recovers completely, as he loves the man's work and will miss him...
