'Dark Knight' star Morgan Freeman injured in Mississippi car crash

Oscar-winning actor Morgan Freeman has been injured in what was called a "serious car accident" in Mississippi last night.

TMZ is reporting that the "Dark Knight" star, and Hollywood's favorite voice of God, was in a car accident around 11:30 Sunday night, just north of Ruleville, Miss.

Freeman was airlifted from the crash scene to a hospital in Memphis, Tenn. The news of the wreck was initially reported by MediaTakeout.

Freeman's condition is unknown. State troopers told reporters that the actor was talking before he was taken to the hospital.

An unidentified female passenger was also in the car. Her condition is not known.

Even though he's a hot property in Hollywood, Freeman still calls Mississippi home.

He and his wife, Myrna, live near Charleston, Miss., on a 126-acre ranch with a main house, peach trees and horse stables.

Freeman built the ranch on the same land his grandparents worked, which is where he spent much of his childhood.
