At the time of the wreck, Wal-Mart’s truck driver had not slept in over 24 hours.
According to Morgan’s lawyer, despite fighting to regain his pre-accident health, the comedian didn’t show significant signs of the improvement more than one full year after his crash.
Morgan’s accident occurred in 2014, while traveling on a New Jersey turnpike, his limousine was struck by a Walmart truck resulting in both severe injuries and one death.

After a seemingly miraculous recovery, Morgan still has much to say about the lasting effects of this unfortunate event.
One of the most devastating developments resulting from this event was Morgan’s traumatic brain injury (TBI).
The crash occurred when the driver of a Walmart tractor trailer failed to respond to the slower speeds of surrounding vehicles and had to veer into Morgan’s limo to avoid colliding with other motorists.
Morgan’s limousine bus was hit from the rear and went careening into other cars. The limousine eventually stopped moving after tipping over onto its side.
