Tracy Morgan in ICU

Injured in a wreck early this AM on the Jersey Turnpike.

I really hope he ends up ok. His stuff on 30 Rock is legendary.

Someone got dat ninja.

 

Two 18-wheelers and an SUV involved; four others dead. This does not sound good.

 

I'm reading one dead, four hospitalized. Morgan among those critical.

Prayers to all involved.

 

Morgan's opening act Ardie Fuqua is also in critical condition. Fuqua lost his 19-year-old son to an auto accident in 2012.

 

Truck driver apparently fell asleep at the wheel and slammed into the van carrying Morgan and Co. He's been charged with one count of death by auto and four counts of assault by auto.

I think it's completely, 100 percent asinine that the lede of that first-day story is Walmart's apology. I don't give a shit what Walmart has to say, not at this point, not for the first-day story. There is absolutely no good reason to lede with anything other than Tracy freaking Morgan.

 

Huh? It's a sidebar. If you took two seconds to view the site, you'd see there is a news story on the crash.

I don't know. Seems even more asinine that some of articles that I read did not even mention that it was a Walmart truck involved in the accident even though the pictures showed that it clearly was.

Were those papers trying to protect Walmart

 

My mistake, apparently. Oddly, when I clicked the first link, nowhere on my screen did anything pointing to the mainbar appear. And after reading the link you gave me, I must say it's not often I see a 300-word mainbar and a 600-word sider.

 

The Black Crusaders must have finally gotten to him. Someone ask Dr. Cosby for comment.

In all seriousness, I love Tracy Morgan in everything I've seen him in. This is awful.
