Comedian Tracy Morgan had to put his life and career on hold in early June after he was involved in a fatal six-car crash in New Jersey.
The accident left him with a broken femur, leg, nose, ribs, and, perhaps most notably, a traumatic brain injury (TBI).“Fighting every day,” the SNL and 30 Rock actor told a photographer on Wednesday.
The cameraman asked Morgan how he was doing as he entered a local post office with the help of a walking aid and a nurse.
There was a promising aspect to the sighting: Morgan was last spied in public in early October using a wheelchair. The fact that he has now graduated to a walker is a huge step on his road to recovery
."Mr. Morgan is a fighter," Benedict Morelli told reporters outside a federal courthouse in Trenton, New Jersey, after attending a meeting with Walmart's attorneys. "He's fighting to get better. If there's a chance to be back to the Tracy Morgan he once was, he is going to try to do that. We just don't know. But is he doing much better? He's doing better," the star's lawyer said.
Today, Morelli appeared in court because Morgan has since filed suit against Wal-Mart and a judge was set to determine a schedule for proceedings. Roper, who was not named in Morgan's suit, has been charged with death by auto and four counts of assault by auto in state court. He pleaded not guilty in June. The AP reported that he has filed to have Morgan's lawsuit delayed in light of his case and a judge is expected to rule on that next month.
In the weeks following the crash, a preliminary investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board showed that Roper, who prosecutors say had been awake for 24 hours before the crash, was going 65 m.p.h. -- 20 m.p.h. over the speed limit.
