On Saturday, June 7, a limo bus carrying comic James McNair, actor Tracy Morgan and comics Harris Stanton and Ardie Fuqua crashed on the New Jersey Turnpike.
The limo bus, which was carrying two drivers, overturned at around 1 a.m. at Cranbury Township, N.J. The accident also involved five other vehicles, including two tractor trailers and an SUV. McNair, best known as “Jimmy Mack” to the comic community and churchgoers, was killed in the crash. Authorities told the AP that the 62-year-old comic of Peekskill, N.Y. was pronounced dead at the scene. McNair was named as one of Morgan’s comedy writers and close friends. He also hosted “The Original Uncle Jimmy Mack’s Amateur Hour.”
Morgan is currently in critical condition in a New Jersey hospital, along with three others from the bus. According to the AP, two occupants weren’t injured.
