As they say, bad luck comes in threes.

First there was Heath Ledger’s death. Then there was Christian Bale’s arrest. Now we’re learning of a serious accident for The Dark Knight‘s Morgan Freeman.

According to the Mississippi Highway Patrol, the actor and one other passenger were involved in rollover accident late last night. A vehicle the Oscar winner was driving reportedly left the roadway and flipped several times. Although the circumstances are still being investigated, it is not believed that drugs or alcohol were in any way involved.

Freeman - who was was heard talking and joking at the scene - was flown to the Regional Medical Center in Memphis where the 71-year-old is listed in serious condition. No status has been given for the other patient who was also airlifted.
