Morgan and three others were injured early Saturday after a tractor trailer reportedly collided with the limo bus they were traveling in on the New Jersey Turnpike, causing the bus to flip over and leading to a multi-vehicle crash.

Comedian James McNair, who performed under the name Jimmy Mack, was killed in the crash.  The group of comedians was returning from a comedy show in Delaware at the time of the crash.

The alleged driver of the truck, 35-year-old Kevin Roper of Jonesboro, Ga., has been charged with one count of death by auto and four counts of assault by auto. Roper pleaded not guilty earlier this week.
