Heavy rain may have caused Morgan car crash

HEAVY RAIN may have been the cause of a car crash that left actor Morgan Freeman hospitalised, according to US reports yesterday.

The Oscar-winning actor was in “good spirits” in hospital after breaking his arm and elbow in the crash, his spokesman said.

But witnesses said the 71-year-old actor was unconscious immediately after the car he was driving flipped over and crashed into a ditch on a highway in rural Mississippi shortly before midnight local time on Sunday.
