NEW BRUNSWICK, New Jersey- 30 Rock actor Tracy Morgan (pictured), who rose to fame after eight seasons on Saturday Night Live and co-starred in the 30 Rock comedy series from 2006 to 2013, is reportedly improving,  though still in intensive care from a deadly car crash on June 7.

The actor, comedian is  reportedly in critical but  stable condition and is progressing, his press agents have said. He was a passenger in a Mercedes Sprinter limousine involved in a six-vehicle accident on the New Jersey Turnpike. His mentor and friend, Kevin McNair, 63, was killed in the crash.

Morgan, 45, a popular Black comedian who rose from a housing project in Bronx, New York to Hollywood stardom, was returning from a comedy tour performance at the  Dover Downs Hotel & Casino in Dover, Delaware.

Speed is a suspecting factor, police have said.

The driver of the truck was charged with one count of vehicular homicide and four counts of assault by an automobile. Kevin Roper pleaded not guilty at an arraignment on Wednesday.

The limousine bus carrying Morgan, McNair and three other comedians, was struck from behind, which allegedly caused a chain reaction.

Morgan reportedly suffered a broken leg and femur, broken nose, and several broken ribs.

Morgan has three grown sons by ex wife Sabina Morgan, and  a daughter born in 2013 with model and fiancee Megan Rollover,  who is reported by his side at a New Jersey hospital.(www.clevelandurbannews.com) / (www.kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com)
