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.

 

[mpcincal]

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 **** 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.

That I will agree with. There seemed to be much more detail into the Walmart story.

Wouldn't surprise me, although in this case I don't know. Walmart has begun advertising in newspapers again in recent years after using direct mail circulars. Probably a move on their part to help the um, spin on certain negative stories.

Love Tracy Morgan. One of the funniest, craziest comics/actors working.

 

[Jake_Taylor]

Godspeed, Astronaut Jones.

 

[Vombatus]

From the looks of the SUV limo, I'd guess serious head and neck injuries. Whiplash alone must have been hellish.

 

[Smallpotatoes]

Get well, Spoonie Love from Up Above.

Broken femur. Damn, that is a bad injury. Life-threatening as far as fractures go.

 

[Vombatus]

Morgan suffered several injuries, including broken ribs, a broken nose, a broken leg and a broken femur.
