Oct 1: Tracy Morgan Still Mending After June Car Accident

Tracy Morgan recovering

Wal-Mart is going to lose even more of their dwindling profits if Mr. Morgan keeps missing work opportunities due to the accident created by the actions of THEIR employee. Here’s hoping that the talented performer makes an eventual and full recovery and that his team has a serious law firm on deck, they’re apparently going to need it.


“There have been few public sightings of the “30 Rock” star since June 7, when a Wal-Mart truck smashed into Morgan’s limousine bus on the New Jersey Turnpike.
Morgan was critically injured with a broken leg and broken ribs and another comedian, 62-year-old James (Jimmy Mack) McNair, was killed.
The 45-year-old former “Saturday Night Live” star needed weeks of rehab before he could stand up — let alone walk. Morgan sued Wal-Mart for negligence, arguing the company was culpable because driver Kevin Roper had been awake for more than 24 hours at the time of the crash.
Morgan also contends Roper’s commute — 700 miles from his home in Georgia to work in Delaware — was “unreasonable.”
Comedian Ardie Fuqua and Jeffrey and Krista Millea, who were passengers in the limo, are also named as plaintiffs in Morgan’s lawsuit.
Wal-Mart blamed Morgan for not wearing a seat belt and denied any responsibility for the wreck.
Morgan failed to “exercise ordinary care in making use of available seat belts … and acted unreasonably and in disregard of plaintiffs’ own best interests,” the retail giant alleged in documents filed in Federal Court in New Jersey.
In a statement, an incredulous Morgan said, “I can’t believe Wal-Mart is blaming me for an accident that they caused. My friends and I were doing nothing wrong.”
Tracy Morgan uses a walker to get around outside his New Jersey house. “Seat belts had nothing to do with” the crash, Morelli added. Roper was going 65 mph, about 20 mph over the speed limit, when he rammed Morgan’s limo, federal investigators said.” (NY Daily News)
