Tracy Morgan Car Crash and Health Update: Police Release Video Recorded at the Scene of the Crash [Watch]
New Jersey State Police have released five clips of a dashcam video that shows the aftermath of the fatal motor vehicle crash involving comedian Tracy Morgan in June.
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 in July to undergo intensive outpatient treatment.
The video, which was posted on the New Jersey State Police website, shows headlights from oncoming traffic and the smashed front of the tractor-trailer that hit Morgan's vehicle.
On Monday, Morgan's attorney announced that star was struggling but is "fighting hard" during an appearance on NBC's "Today," reports NBC.
Comedian Neal Brennan also recently told Seth Meyers that Morgan sounds upbeat in spite of his current physical condition..
"From what I can tell, he's great," said the co-creator of "Chappelle's Show" during his interview on "Late Night With Seth Meyers."
"Physically I don't know. He said he is going to rehab every day. Mentally, he seems all there," he said, adding that he spoke with Morgan Monday night.
"We were talking, and he was like, 'Neal. I mean, the outpouring of love was unbelievable. I mean, the people that reached out to me: Busta Rhymes, LL Cool J, the president,'" Brennan said. "The fact that Tracy put LL Cool J and Busta Rhymes above the president let's me know that Tracy is back."
