Late Sunday night the renowned actor was in a car accident in Mississippi and airlifted to a hospital in Memphis. He is said to be doing well after undergoing surgery Monday to repair damage to his left arm and hand. Morgan was in the car with a female family friend. The divorce surprise comes just days after the accident.
