The Oscar-winning actor, 71, was treated for a broken arm, elbow and shoulder damage sustained in Sunday night's accident in Miss. He underwent surgery on Monday to reconnect nerves and to repair damage to his left arm and hand. Freeman's passenger, Demaris Meyer, was also injured in the crash.
On Wednesday, Freeman's lawyer confirmed to Access Hollywood that the actor is divorcing with his wife of 24 years, Myrna Colley-Lee and that "for legal and practical purposes, have been separated since December of 2007." The couple own a home in Tallahatchie County, Miss.
