Walmart settles with Tracy Morgan in fatal 2014 crash






Actor Tracy Morgan and retail giant Walmart have settled the civil suit brought by Morgan last year that blamed the private carrier’s lack of compliance with federal trucking regulations as the cause in the June 2014 New Jersey Turnpike crash that left one dead and several others, including Morgan, severely injured.

The terms of the settlement were not disclosed, and court documents show both parties agreed to seal the case files this week.

Morgan’s suit, which was brought in conjunction with the three other survivors in the crash, accused Walmart’s private fleet of of being “careless and negligent” in its oversight of its drivers and its equipment.
