NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. (AP) — Actor and comedian Tracy Morgan was in intensive care Saturday after the limousine bus he was riding in was involved in a multi-vehicle accident on the New Jersey Turnpike, state police said.
The vehicle carrying the former "Saturday Night Live" and "30 Rock" cast member and six others was involved in a six-vehicle accident on the turnpike near Cranbury Township at about 1 a.m. Saturday, Sgt. First Class Greg Williams told The Associated Press.
Williams said one person died in the crash that occurred in the northbound lanes of the turnpike near mile marker 71.5.
A spokesman at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Center in New Brunswick, New Jersey, says a patient named Tracy Morgan is in critical condition there.
There was no immediate word on other injuries from the accident.
Williams says two tractor-trailers, a sports utility vehicle and two cars, along with Morgan's limo bus, were involved in the accident. There is no immediate word on the cause of the pileup.
The 45-year-old Bronx native joined "Saturday Night Live" in 1996 and was on the sketch-comedy program for seven years before leaving to star in "The Tracy Morgan Show" in 2003. That show lasted just one season. In 2006, Morgan found a long-running role in NBC's hit show "30 Rock," which was created by SNL co-star Tina Fey.
The New Jersey Turnpike was closed for more than five hours after the crash and was reopened at about 6:30 a.m.

Doctors are unsure of whether Tracy Morgan will ever be able to return to the stage (http://www.lipstickalley.com/showthread.php?t=773945). The actor and comedian suffered brain injuries during a car crash back in June, which injured two other passengers and killed comedian James “Jimmy Mack” McNair. According to Morgan’s lawyer (http://pagesix.com/2014/09/30/doctors-unsure-if-tracy-morgan-will-ever-perform-again-lawyer/?_ga=1.215522455.1633999719.1412140513), Benedict Morelli, the 30 Rock star has been undergoing extensive physical and mental rehabilitation to improve his speech and cognitive capabilities, but it’s unclear whether he’ll ever act or perform stand-up again.

And the driver that hadn't slept in almost 24 hours and crashed into him, was driving safely? Tracy should have been wearing his seatbelt, but that accident was going to happen anyway. Driving without sleep is like driving drunk.

In a new interview (http://www.today.com/popculture/tracy-morgan-speaks-today-show-matt-lauer-first-interview-crash-t23521) with Matt Lauer, Morgan describes his reaction to Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin's SNL 40 tribute, which he didn't watch but heard about. "I just put my head down and started crying because it's a lot for me. It was too much for me at that time. Now it's just on to the business of getting better and healing. That's what I'm gonna do and one day, when I'm 100 percent, I'm gonna grab that mic and I'm never gonna let it go. Never. I promise you. I promise y'all. I'm gonna be the funniest I can be cause I ain't never gonna take life for granted no more."

"I said, 'If my funny ever went away, I'd die,'” the former 30 Rock star tells Rolling Stone. "And I thought I was going to die for a long time. My thoughts – I was in a very dark place. I was sitting right here, contemplating suicide. I couldn't walk."
