More Morgan Freeman news: The actor, who fractured his arm and elbow Sunday in a car crash and is now recovering in hospital after undergoing surgery, is reportedly divorcing his wife of 24 years.

Morgan Freeman’s Mississippi-based attorney and business partner has confirmed to Access Hollywood that the septuagenarian actor is divorcing his wife of almost a quarter of a century.

Freeman and costumer Myrna Colley-Lee “are involved in a divorce action,” Bill Luckett, who is also a friend of the actor’s, told Access Hollywood.

“And for legal and practical purposes, [Freeman and Colley-Lee] have been separated since December of 2007,” Luckett, who is also a friend of the actor’s, said.

Morgan Freeman was involved in an accident Sunday on Mississippi Highway 32 and the car he was driving belonged to Demaris Meyer, who was also in the car with him. This sparked some interest, as some wondered what his association with the 48-year-old woman was.

Morgan Freeman was driving Meyer’s 1997 Nissan Maxima in a rural area of Tallahatchie County when he lost control of the vehicle and overcorrected. This caused the car to flip over several times before finally resting right-side up.

The accident occurred around 11.30 p.m. The two were reportedly on their way to Morgan Freeman’s home. He and Myrna reportedly have a house in Charleston, about 4 miles from the accident scene.

The car was badly mangled and the rescue team needed to use the jaws of life to extract the actor and Meyer.

Both were conscious and coherent and Freeman even joked, telling standers-by who were pulling out their phone cameras, “No freebies, no freebies.”

The actor was seriously injured though and was airlifted to the Regional Medical Center in Memphis, some 90 miles north of the scene of the accident.

Clay McFerrin, editor of the Sun Sentinel in Charleston, was on the scene of the accident and told the Associated Press Freeman was “lucid, conscious,” and even “talking, joking with some of the rescue workers at one point.”

Meyer was also airlifted to the Regional Medical Center.

The 71-year-old Academy Award winner underwent surgery Monday night “to reconnect nerves and repair damage in his left arm and hand,” his spokesperson Donna Lee said in a statement Tuesday.

He had broken his arm and elbow and had a “minor shoulder damage” due to the accident, Lee had previously said. The surgery, which lasted four and a half hours, was successful though and Tuesday morning he was “doing well” and already receiving visits from his family, she added.

“As of this morning he’s up and walking around and looking forward to his release in a few days,” she concluded. He is expected to have a full recovery.

Mississippi Highway Patrol told Access Hollywood that no alcohol was involved. The investigation continues but no charges have been filed against Freeman.

Morgan Freeman currently co-stars in the box office record-breaker “The Dark Knight.” He won an Academy Award for best supporting actor for his role in 2004’s Clint Eastwood-directed “Million Dollar Baby.”

His recent screen credits include Ben Affleck’s directorial debut, “Gone, Baby, Gone,” “The Bucket List,” starring opposite Jack Nicholson and this summer’s action thriller “Wanted,” starring Angelina Jolie and James McAvoy.
