That's terrible! Here's hoping he'll be alright...

[Free For All]

Terrible news! He's one of my favorite actors, I love his work.

I hope his recovery is speedy and complete. I'll be keeping him in my thoughts.

strangest thing is that he was driving a 1997 car - newer ones, which I hope he can afford, are much safer -

I hope he recovers and all is right . A few years back my wife and I visited his Juke Joint down in

Clarksdale .

he's just got to be okay!!! i am sending really good thoughts and prayers his way (and to his passenger as well). i just missed seeing him on Broadway. hope he gets in shape to do lots more movies and plays! he's the best!

Back in the'70s, I saw him regularly at Jim and Andy's, a NYC hangout for jazz musicians--he is obviously into the music.

Here is an item from the NYT.

Get Well MF

have read some encouraging news that although he has some fractures, it doesn't look like there's anything life-threatening. hope this is true.

Sounds like he may have reached the age where he shouldn't drive anymore.

In any case, I hope he recovers quickly and completely.

71 isn't THAT old. I don't know what happened, but people can drive badly/crazy or just have an accident at any age. Hope I don't have to quit driving when I hit 71 - though if my driving skill have eroded, I hope that I will.

although it has NOT been confirmed, they reported that he MAY have fallen asleep at the wheel.

Good thing he had his seatbelt on!

If it's true that he dozed behind the wheel, it's a shame and something that happens all too frequently. Driving while tired is a real grind and in this case, dangerous. I recently did a 6.5 hour drive while sick(massive congestion) & tired. I had to make frequent rest stops and a few times I started drifting into the next lane- it was scary.
