Tracy Morgan and his entourage were traveling on the New Jersey Turnpike earlier this month when an18-wheeler tractor trailer crashed into the limo bus they were traveling in. The limo bus Tracy Morgan was in ended up spinning, flipping over and causing a 6 car crash. Morgan was on his comedy tour and ended up being rushed to the hospital and placed in critical condition, while fellow comedian James McNair ended up dying after the impact. Two weeks after the fatal crash, Tracy Morgan was released from ICU and sent into a rehab facility to recuperate.
It’s been rumored that the driver of the truck dozed off at the wheel after not sleeping in over a 24 hour period and caused the accident, although the police haven’t concluded their investigation yet. According to the National Sleep Foundation, falling asleep at the wheel is not uncommon. In fact, about 168 million people say they have driven a car while feeling drowsy while around 103 million people admit to actually falling asleep while driving. If these statistics teach us anything it’s that no matter what, it’s critical that you are 100% alert and focused on the road and all road signs when driving. If you are at all tired, wait until you know you it’s safe to drive. It’s always better to be safe than sorry.
