Actor Tracy Morgan in critical condition after six-vehicle car crash

Saturday Night Live actor Tracy Morgan has been left in a critical condition after a six-vehicle car accident in which one person was killed. The star comedian, also known for his role in '30 Rock', was in a limo bus when the crash happened in Mercer County, New Jersey.
He was airlifted to the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Center in New Brunswick, where it is believed he is being treated for serious injuries. The collision, which also involved two tractor trailers, left another person on the limo bus dead and seven others injured - three critically.
Police could not provide details of what caused the crash, but confirmed Morgan, 45, was among the injured.  His limo bus is said to have overturned in the town of Robinsville.
Sergeant Gregory Williams, from New Jersey State Police, told CNN: "The limo bus is the only vehicle that overtuned.
"Looks like one of the tractor-trailers may have rear-ended into that limo bus, but that's preliminary at this time."
Morgan was on the road for his "Turn it Funny" stand-up comedy tour. He was booked to perform at a casino in Dover, Delaware, on Friday night and had been due to appear on Saturday in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The comedian spent seven years on Saturday Night Live before leaving the cast in 2003. He went on to star in the sitcom '30 Rock' for seven seasons, playing an unhinged, reckless comedian called Tracy Jordan in the satire about network television.
