Comedian Tracy Morgan critically injured in six-car collision

The 30 Rock and Saturday Night Live star is currently in intensive care.

ACTOR AND COMEDIAN Tracy Morgan is in intensive care after the limousine bus in which he was riding in was involved in a multi-vehicle accident on the New Jersey Turnpike..

Police said that the vehicle carrying the 45-year-old former ‘Saturday Night Live’ and ’30 Rock’ cast member and six others was involved in a six-vehicle accident in the early hours of this morning.

A spokesman at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Center in New Brunswick, New Jersey, says a patient named Tracy Morgan is in critical condition there.

A police official said one person riding in the bus was killed. There was no immediate word on the condition of others involved in the accident.

Two tractor-trailers, a sports utility vehicle and two cars, along with Morgan’s limo bus, were involved in the accident, Sgt. First Class Greg Williams added.

The 45-year-old Morgan joined “Saturday Night Live” in 1996 and was on the sketch-comedy program 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 SNL co-star Tina Fey.
