Comedian Tracy Morgan is in critical condition at a New Brunswick hospital following an early morning accident on the New Jersey Turnpike, according to the New Jersey State Police.
CNN reported the actor-comedian was injured in a crash involving six vehicles that left at least one person dead.
State police Sgt. Gregory Williams told CNN Morgan was riding in a limo bus that overturned on the turnpike.
The accident occurred about 1 a.m. today in the northbound lanes between exits 7a and 8. State police said two tractor trailers were involved in the crash and another passenger in Morgan’s bus had been killed, reported NBC10.com.
Morgan was taken to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick. A nursing supervisor would not comment to NJ.com on his condition.
Morgan appeared last night at the Dover Downs Hotel & Casino.
As recently as September 2013, Morgan appeared at The Stress Factory comedy club in New Brunswick. Morgan is best known for his work as a cast member on NBC’s Saturday Night Live and for his role as Tracy Jordan on the television series 30 Rock.
Morgan, who is expecting his fourth child, was planning to host a baby shower in Delaware with his 26-year-old girlfriend Megan Wollover on June 20.
In a recent interview with delawareonline.com, Morgan talked about his life and love of show business.
“I enjoy doing show business. I can’t pick one genre. I love all of it,” Morgan said. “If God gives me enough time, I’ll do it all.”
