Tracy Morgan is now recuperating after having surgery on his leg, impacted in the car crash that killed his friend and comedy writer, James McNair, on Saturday night in New Jersey.Contrary to reports, the comedian and actor best known for his role on NBC’s 30 Rock will not need a leg amputation.
A series of tweets that appear to be published by Kevin Roper, the trucker behind the accident which left the comedian in critical condition, were posted June 10. Using the moniker @KevinMoneyTalks, the Walmart driver wrote:

But the drama doesn’t end there. Allegedly, Morgan’s mother Alicia Warden, who according to Tracy had not seen him in over 11 years, tried to visit her son in the hospital, but was blocked by security and Tracy’s fiancee, Megan Wollover.
Warden says when she returned the next day, she was allowed in to see her then unconscious son. She says that she was only allowed to visit him for five minutes. Warden says that she was not personally contacted after Tracy’s accident, but learned about it through the media.
According to TMZ, Warden claimed that Tracy’s friends and a pastor were visiting at the time of her visit. “All I wanted was for our family to be alone with him. I wanted to pray over him and couldn’t do that because so many people were in the room,” she said.
