Tracy Morgan: 'I'm okay, I feel strong'
Five weeks after winding up in critical condition due to a multi-vehicle pileup on the New Jersey turnpike, comedian and 30 Rock star Tracy Morgan is back at home — and he marked the occasion by reassuring fans that he's going to be okay.
"I'm okay. I feel strong," Morgan saidas he greeted reporters outside his home, according to the Daily News. Greeted with applause, he added, "Love you, thank you very much. Appreciate it."
Morgan is currently suing Walmart for negligence, since the crash was allegedly caused by one of the company's drivers, who told prosecutors hadn't slept for more than 24 hours before the accident occurred.
