Williams said Meyer was in the Memphis hospital when the Highway Patrol checked Monday night and both she and Freeman were in “good spirits.”

Rogers said he was “sleeplessness television concerning 11:15 and I heard a car sliding put on the highway aloud in front of our abode.”

“As I looked out the window, I saw it began to flip after it hit our next-door neighbor’s drive. It went end-over-end about twice and at another time it came hindmost on its wheels in the ditch. It was a mess,” he said.

Rogers said Freeman and Meyer were in brief unconscious when he got to the vehicle. Freeman was driving Meyer’s 1997 Nissan Maxima, authorities said.
