Morgan Freeman is critically ill after a car crash.
A spokesman for the Regional Medical Centre in Memphis, Tennessee, said the 71 year old actor, who is currently starring in "The Dark Knight" alongside Christian Bale and the late Heath Ledger, was in a serious condition, but no other details have yet been released by the hospital.
US website MediaTakeOut.com first reported that the actor was involved in a serious car accident this morning.
Mississippi state troopers told showbiz website TMZ.com that Freeman was involved in the crash at around 11.30pm local time last night, just north of the small town of Ruleville.
He was airlifted from the accident scene to the hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, where he is being treated today.
