Freeman, 78, was traveling from Mississippi to Texas for a
television shoot, but was forced to land at Tunica Airport, in
northwestern Mississippi, as the blown tire caused other
problems, the actor said in a statement issued by his publicist.
"Sometimes things don't go as planned," Freeman said in the
statement. "But thanks to my excellent pilot Jimmy Hobson we
landed safely without a scratch. I cannot say the same about my
plane."
Freeman, known for Oscar-nominated performances in films
including "Driving Miss Daisy" and "The Shawshank Redemption,"
won the best supporting actor Academy Award for the 2004 film
"Million Dollar Baby."
