A rep for Oscar winner Morgan Freeman is speaking out about the star's Sunday night car accident.


Morgan and his rep thank everyone for their good wishes and prayers, and the rep also tells "The Insider," "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 OK and is looking forward to a full recovery."

While Morgan's rep requests that no one send the actor flowers or gifts, anyone who would like to send him well wishes can do so at the following address: P.O. Box 16548, Encino, CA 91416, in care of Morgan Freeman.
