According to a statement released by Tracy Morgan’s rep, the comedian is showing signs of improvement after he was critically injured in a New Jersey Turnpike six car pileup on Saturday. Morgan’s assistant, Jeffrey Millea is also doing much better.
Today was a better day. While Tracy remains in critical, but stable, condition, he continues to show signs of improvement. His medical team remains optimistic that his recovery is progressing. Megan remains by his side and is relaying the countless good wishes and prayers that his family, friends and fans have been sending their way. In addition, Jeff’s wife asked us to pass along that Jeff has also shown much improvement over the past few days. She is very thankful for the love and support she and their family continue to receive.
Morgan and Millea were hospitalized after a Wal-mart tractor trailer veered into the comedian’s chauffeured limousine bus. Veteran comedian, James McNair, was killed, while fellow comedians, Ardie Fuqua and Harris Stanton were also injured.
In other news, Fuqua’s daughter, Krizya is begging TMZ to take down a video captured just minutes after the accident by a passerby. The clip captured the chaos as EMT’s pull her father out of the wreckage.
So sad for her. I’d take it down if I had posted it.
Comedian and FX star, Louis CK and producer Judd Apatow followed up with their own pleas.
