ROBBINSVILLE, NJ — Actor/comedian Tracy Morgan remains in critical condition following a tractor-trailer accident that happened in Robbinsville, New Jersey on Saturday, June 7th, 2014, according to CNN.
New Jersey police say that Tracy Morgan was one of eight people in a limo that was struck by a tractor-trailer from the rear before overturning on the New Jersey Turnpike early Saturday morning.
Scene of the Accident
Tracy Morgan was rushed to a nearby hospital along with six other passengers after the accident, where all of them remain in critical condition.
One passenger in the limo was identified in the news as James McNair, who was killed in the crash.
Authorities hope to release the cause of the accident when the investigation is completed.
Commentary:
Judging from the photos taken of the accident scene, this looks like a very, very serious accident – and just from skimming the reports, it looks like the tractor-trailer may be at fault. While Tracy Morgan has quite a few fans around this office, and we all hope is okay, this accident is only getting this kind of attention due to the celebrity status of one of the victims. In reality, these kinds of devastating truck accidents happen every single day, in every single state. With more and more trucks being put on the road each year, and the higher number of civilian drivers, this trend is likely to worsen. Hopefully this kind of exposure to the public will get people talking and aware of how common truck driver negligence can be. Our condolences to the deceased, and we hope everyone makes a speedy recovery.

I just now examine Tracy Morgan’s accident. To start with I believed he was drunk driving again, however the news said he was linked to tour bus. One individual died and Morgan is contained in critical condition. Hope he’s okay.
