s to my friend, tracy morgan. he remains in critical but stable condition tonight after a crash on the new jersey turnpike early saturday morning. a walmart tractor trailer hit the limo vancarrying morgan and friends. comedian james mcnair died and two others were injured. morgan is expected to stay in the hospital a few weeks. the truck driver kevin robe ez wur charged one count of death by auto and four counts of assault by auto. and today we learned he was driving for over 24 hours. sadly it takes a tragedy like this to shine light on the issue of truck driver safety. just last week the senate appropriations committee passed an amendment that would suspend a requirement that truck drivers rest for at least 34 consecutive hours. it was pushed by senator susan collins and passed with 21 votes. i pray for everyone involved in this tragedy. i've been a tracy morgan fan for years. i first met him hosting "saturday night live." he would impersonate me and i always got a kick out of it. at last year's white house correspondent dinner, we took a selfie together. and tonight, i'm praying for his recovery and that all the others involved in this terrible crash recover as well.
