Good news. Morgan Freeman’s going to be just fine after surviving a car crash in rural Mississippi Sunday night.

The soft-spoken Oscar-winner was hospitalized and listed in serious condition after his 1997 Nissan Maxima went off the shoulder of the road and tumbled down an embankment around 11:30 p.m last night. A rep for Freeman says the 71-year-old actor is in good spirits and prepared to spend the next three to four months recovering from his injuries.

“Morgan has a broken arm, elbow and has minor shoulder damage but was in good spirits when I spoke with him a short time ago at the Elvis Presley Memorial Trauma Center at The MED, a Level 1 Trauma Center at the Regional Medical Center at Memphis. He is having a little bit of surgery this afternoon or tomorrow to help correct the damage. He says he’ll be okay and is looking forward to a full recovery,” read a statement from Morgan’s rep on Monday.

Morgan and his rep requests that fans not send the actor flowers or gifts, instead send him well wishes at: P.O. Box 16548, Encino, CA 91416, in care of Morgan Freeman. You may also leave comments on Morgan’s blog at http://www.planitnow.org/morgan/.
