30 Rock‘s Tracy Morgan is in critical condition following a deadly multiple car crash on the New Jersey Turnpike.
“Tracy remains in critical condition at Robert Wood Johnson Hospital. He sustained these injuries in an accident that occurred early this morning as one of several passengers in a chauffeured SUV returning from a tour date in Delaware,” rep Lewis Kay said in a statement. “His family is now with him and he is receiving excellent care.
