Twenty years of working in a major hospital's ER taught me that at 1AM at least 90% of the drivers on the road are either drunk or falling asleep.
I have been on the road many time at that hour and nothing has happened to me even as I text.......................................................................
“Meanwhile, the other nameless critical victims dont count or warrant a mention by name.”
This crash would probably have made the news even without a well known person being in it. It looks horrendous from the pictures.
One article at least had the name of the person who was killed, who was on Morgan’s limo bus. It seems they got the worst of it.
My guess is that people on a vehicle like that might not be wearing seatbelts.
But let’s not be mean about things, that’s so pointless.
One guy is dead, Morgan and 2 or 3 others are in bad shape. Let’s just hope they will recover.
If you don’t like Tracy Morgan, just skip the thread.
I live in NJ and drive in our awful, horrible, dreadful traffic every day, so that’s why I feel affected by this story.
The tractor trailers are terrifying to me.
The Walmart truck driver has been charged. Fell asleep at the wheel.
Yes, I saw that. Very frightening.
