Ryan Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share Posted June 7, 2014 The victim killed in the crash this morning has been confirmed as James McNair, Tracy Morgan's longtime friend and comedy writer. Morgan's assistant, Jeff Millea, is also in critical condition, said an official in the investigation. “Tracy remains in critical condition at Robert Wood Johnson Hospital. He sustained these injuries in an accident that occurred early this morning as one of several passengers in a chauffeured SUV returning from a tour date in Delaware. His family is now with him and he is receiving excellent care. We don’t anticipate much of a change in his condition today but will provide a further update once more information becomes available.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 And he's at the worst hospital in the area. If I had to pick a hospital, RWJ Hamilton would be the last one I:d ever go to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share Posted June 7, 2014 A dozing truck driver reportedly caused the crash that killed comedy writer James McNair and injured Tracy Morgan and three others. According to ABC News, a driver of an 18-wheeler didn't see traffic slowing in front of him until it was too late. Two other victims in the crash have been identified as Ardie Fuqua and Harris Stanton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 They're saying the driver fell asleep at the wheel. Awful story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LethalStriker Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 So it's been a couple of days since the accident any word on Tracy's status yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Lotsa damage to one of his legs is all that's really come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LethalStriker Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 But he's completely out of the woods as far as being in critical condition? He's got a long haul as far as rehab goes to being able to go back to work as a standup and all of that jazz is what I'm trying to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimoDANK Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 It sounds like he might have trouble with the standing up part of standup. If he's able to he'll find a way to do comedy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritenaut 32 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Rumor is that they amputated a leg, though his rep is saying that is completely false. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgundy LaRue Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 They're saying his leg was badly broken, and that he had surgery on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Was supposed to start filming in August for a January premiere. Obviously, that probably will be delayed. Show is actually for FXX, BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Quick update, Tracy's condition has been upgraded to Fair. I am assuming he's already told several of the nurses (female and male) that he'd like to express his gratitude by getting them pregnant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Smith and his fellow podcasters always sit down when they do their comedy shows. Nobody minds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Tracy has been released from the hospital and is in a rehab center now. Never did I think I'd be happier to hear "Tracy Morgan is in rehab". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
