Tracy Morgan remains in critical condition after he was involved in a car accident early on Saturday morning, RadarOnline.com is reporting.

The former Saturday Night Live actor was traveling in a limo bus on the New Jersey turnpike when it was rear-ended by a big rig, causing a six-vehicle crash.

"The limo bus is the only vehicle that overturned," Sgt. Gregory Williams told CNN.

"Looks like one of the tractor-trailers may have rear-ended that limo bus, but that's preliminary at this time."​
