Tracy Morgan Car Crash and Health Update: Comedian Spotted at NYC Doctor's Office Using a Walker
After surviving a devastating car crash last month, Tracy Morgan appears to be making great progression on the road to recovery.
The famous comic was critically injured on June 7 when a speeding Wal-Mart truck slammed into his Mercedes limousine, which was carrying him and four others on the New Jersey Turnpike. The collision killed Morgan's longtime friend, comedian James "Uncle Jimmy Mack" McNair, and seriously injured the other passengers, CNN reported.
The 45-year-old "30 Rock" star suffered from broken ribs, a broken nose, a broken femur and a broken leg in the accident. He was hospitalized for two weeks after the crash, and then he spent three weeks recovering in a rehabilitation center. Morgan was finally able to return home earlier this week and he will undergo intensive outpatient treatment.
On Wednesday, the actor was spotted using a walker after coming out of a doctor's office in New York City, TMZ reported. Morgan took his time as he approached a black SUV, while his fiance, Megan Wollover, was seen walking by his side and carrying their 1-year-old daughter. At one point, Wollover put her hand on Morgan's lower back to him along.
On Monday, Morgan was spotted in public for the first time since his fatal car accident. He flashed a huge smile and a peace sign when reporters caught up with him outside of his New Jersey home.
The former "Saturday Night Live" star also spoke to reporters, saying, "I'm O.K.," and, "I love you very much. Thank you. I appreciate everything," before he was driven away in a black SUV, reported CBS News.
Morgan's spokesperson told Entertainment Tonight, "He asked me to pass along his sincerest gratitude to everyone who has helped him get to this point. He would also appreciate some privacy during this crucial point in his recovery."
