I will pray for Mr. Morgan’s recovery and for the souls of those who were killed in this awful crash.

[Defiant]

I think he was about to break a big story about Bowe Bergdahl.

Some may call this Karma and comeuppance after his ugly remarks on Sarah Palin.
His comments about her on live TV were disgusting and he is an ahole.

[al baby]

me too

Eight seasons on ‘Saturday Night Live’ and seven-or-so seasons on ‘30 Rock’.

From what I remember, his plots were funnier than Tina Feh's or Jack McBrayer's, but his character was so abysmally stupid that it was hard to watch him very long, IMHO.

Comedian Tracy Morgan critical after multi-car crash in Cranbury

"You call that a head-on collision?! I've seen better explosions in a box of Pop-Rocks!"

[DoughtyOne]

He is funny at times. I’ve enjoyed some of his performances.

I too hope he makes it through this.

[dead]

Funny guy, hope he recovers:

That bird is a liar!!!!

[DPMD]

Meanwhile, the other nameless critical victims don’t count or warrant a mention by name.

Hope he and the other victims make it through OK - he’s had his share of troubles and has caused his share of troubles, but he’s talented, funny and instantly likable on the screen. This accident was apparently the fault of a dozing truck driver who plowed his 18-wheeler into the stalled traffic in front of him.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

Not sure this one is a hoax.

Doesn't appear to be, unfortunately - multiple reports from different sources on Google News. He wasn't the only victim of this crash, either.

the whole turnpike is a mess. I went up to cranbury this winter and bypassed the whole mess.

[IronJack]

Not sure he deserves this fate, but I think he’s about as funny as a burn ward.

[Yaelle]

Not a fan of Tracy’s but of course I wish him a full recovery. Apparently he has a small baby too. Fame and money can’t always protect you from danger. Prayers for all involved.

Peter Haigney, a spokesman for the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, confirmed that one of the patients in critical condition is named Tracy Morgan. Three of the passengers are in critical condition and one is in fair condition. Comics Ardie Fuqua and Harris Stanton are among those hospitalized following the accident. Sadly, James McNair, sometimes known as Jimmy Mack in the comedy circuit (see his stand-up below), was killed.

Driving NJ freeways is taking your life in your own hands. I have driven many states but this is the worst! Morning commute is total hell! It’s NASCAR with no rules!

Yea, I’ve driven up there and the farther north you go and the closer to NYC, the crazier it gets.

But I’ve also driven around the DC area, and it is the same thing. I’ve a theory about the Washington Capitol Beltway – just as the states send their representatives to Congress, they also send their worst and rudest drivers and all they do all day long is drive around 495 terrorizing citizens, pretty much like Congress come to think of it.

The 95 bridge is still closed I think Tilting bridge in delaware closed indefinitely, which has caused traffic to be increased on parts of the New Jersey turnpike. Wonder if this was anywhere near that area?

[Starstruck]

I’ve said it a million times...nothing good *ever* happens at 1 AM.

Not sure being a passenger on a limo bus fits in your category.
