Morgan's a Free Man After Settling Crash Suit

Morgan Freeman's crash suit has come to the end of the road.
The Oscar winner has settled the negligence suit filed against him in the wake of last summer's rollover car crash in the Mississippi Delta.
According to the state's Clarion-Ledger, the short-on-details court records were filed today, though do not disclose the amount or nature of the settlement.
The suit was filed in February, with passenger Demaris Meyers claiming that Freeman's precrash drinking was to blame for the accident, which left them both seriously injured.
Earlier this summer, Freeman, 71, roundly denied the allegations, and vowed to prove that Meyers was "comparatively negligent." A trial date to decide the matter had been set for next August.
That's one more to cross off the bucket list.
