Actor-comedian Tracy Morgan is in critical condition in hospital but was more responsive a day after he was badly hurt in a deadly New Jersey highway crash, his spokesman said on Sunday.
Morgan, who gained fame as a member of the “Saturday Night Live” ensemble before co-starring on the hit NBC television comedy “30 Rock,” was injured when a tractor-trailer rear-ended the limousine bus he was riding in early on Saturday with four other passengers.
Fellow comedian James McNair was killed in the wreck. Two other comics – Ardie Fuqua and Harris Stanton – were also in hospital with severe injuries, while a fifth passenger, Morgan’s assistant, Jeff Millea, was treated for minor injuries and released, police and hospital officials said.
The group was returning from a performance in Delaware at around 1 a.m. when the big rig slammed into the back of their chauffeured Mercedes bus near Cranbury Township, New Jersey, flipping it over.
The impact caused a chain-reaction crash involving a second truck, a sport utility vehicle and two other cars, said New Jersey State Police spokesman Gregory Williams. Read More On MSN
