Tracy Morgan Settles With Walmart Regarding 2014 Accident

Comedian Tracy Morgan has reached a settlement with Walmart Wednesday, ending a lawsuit against the superstore filed after one of their trucks caused a multi-vehicle accident on the New Jersey Turnpike back in June of last year. Terms and conditions of the settlement are confidential.

"Our thoughts continue to go out to everyone that was involved in the accident," said Walmart U.S. president and CEO Greg Foran in a statement. "While we know there is nothing that can change what happened, Walmart has been committed to doing what's right to help ensure the well-being of all of those who were impacted by the accident. We worked closely with Mr. Morelli, and we are pleased to have reached an amicable settlement that ends this litigation. We are deeply sorry that one of our trucks was involved."

"Walmart and I worked diligently to reach this settlement for the plaintiffs and their families," said Morgan's attorney Benedict P. Morelli. " Walmart took full responsibility for the accident, which we greatly appreciate."

Morgan himself issued a statement, which read, "Walmart did right by me and my family, and for my associates and their families. I am grateful that the case was resolved amicably."
