Tracy Morgan is suing Wal-Mart after a late night car crash on the New Jersey Turnpike left him in critical condition last month. The comedian is currently rehabbing his injuries of a broken leg and ribs.
Morgan filed suit in New Jersey alleging the company should never have allowed truck driver Kevin Roper to drive for nearly 10 hours straight after being awake for more than 24 hours. 
According to the lawsuit ... Roper had driven 700 miles from his home to the Walmart distribution center before beginning his fatal drive. One person died when Roper was tooling along in his tractor-trailer at 65 in a 45 MPH zone and slammed into the SUV.
Roper pled not guilty to charges of death by auto. Morgan was released from the hospital last month, but he's still at a physical rehabilitation center.
