Tracy Morgan moves from hospital to rehab

ACTOR and comedian Tracy Morgan has been moved from hospital to a rehabilitation facility as he recovers from a serious car accident.

The former star of 30 Rock is showing signs of improvement but has a long road to full recovery, spokesman Lewis Kay said in an email.

Morgan suffered a broken leg and broken ribs in the June 7 accident.

Kay didn’t identify the rehab facility where Morgan is staying, saying only that it is in New Jersey.

Morgan’s limousine van was hit from behind by a Wal-Mart truck on the New Jersey Tupike. His friend James McNair, 62, of Peekskill, New York, was killed and Morgan and two other men were seriously injured.

On Thursday, a report by federal transportation safety investigators said the truck driver was speeding before he slammed into the vehicle on a stretch of the tupike where the limit was 45m/h (72km/h) due to construction.

The report also raised anew questions about driver Kevin Roper’s work hours and whether they were in conflict with federal safety guidelines.

Roper, 35, of Jonesboro, Georgia, has pleaded not guilty to one count of death by auto and four counts of assault by auto.
