Actor and comedian Tracy Morgan and two members of his entourage remained in critical condition Sunday, following a six-vehicle crash a day earlier along the New Jersey Turnpike that killed Morgan’s mentor and fellow comedian.
The 45-year-old former “Saturday Night Live” and “30 Rock” cast member was on his way back from a stand-up show in Delaware early Saturday with six others when a Walmart tractor-trailer struck their limo bus, causing it to overturn, New Jersey State Police confirmed.
Peter Haigney, a spokesperson for the hospital, said four patients are being treated there. Three are in a critical condition while one is in a “fair condition”, according to the network. Morgan was named as one of the three in a critical conditon.
The 45-year-old joined Saturday Night Live in 1996 and was on the sketch-comedy programme for seven years before leaving to star in The Tracy Morgan Show in 2003.
That show lasted just one season. In 2006, Morgan found a long-running role in NBC’s hit show 30 Rock, which was created by Tina Fey.
