2. Tracy Morgan
via celebrity.yahoo.com
30 Rock star Tracy Morgan was on his way back from performing at a show in Delaware, when the van he was in was involved in an accident. Struck from behind by a Walmart tractor-trailer, the van ended up as part of a six-car pileup.
Morgan, five members of his comedy troupe and the driver were injured in the crash. Morgan was flown to hospital with a broken femur, broken nose and several broken ribs. Waking up from a two week coma, surgery and months of rehab followed. One of his close friends and writers, James McNair, was killed in the crash.
Investigations found that the driver of the Walmart truck had been driving for 24 hours straight, leading to diminished concentration. Walmart had subsequently settled out of court for undisclosed amounts.
