On Thursday, Morgan filed a lawsuit against Wal-Mart over the fatal car accident that took the life of comedian James McNair and seriously injured Morgan, Ardley Fuqua, Jr. and Jeffrey Millea. The limousine the men were riding in was struck by a Wal-Mart truck traveling 20 mph over the speed limit, according to a National Transportation Safety Board report.
The suit alleges the world’s largest retailer was “careless and negligent” in the operations and management of its fleet of trucks. The suit also alleges that driver Kevin Roper had been awake for more than 24 hours at the time of the accident, and had fallen asleep at the wheel prior to the crash.

“We are deeply sorry that one of our trucks was involved. As we’ve said, we’re cooperating fully in the ongoing investigation,” Wal-Mart said in a statement released after the lawsuit was filed. “We know it will take some time to resolve all of the remaining issues as a result of the accident, but we’re committed to doing the right thing for all involved.”
