Wal-Mart Stores Inc. said actor-comedian Tracy Morgan and two others are to blame for injuries they sustained in a fatal June highway crash because they weren’t wearing seat belts.
Morgan, who was critically injured when the limousine bus he was in was struck by a Wal-Mart truck on the New Jersey Turnpike, sued the world’s biggest retailer for negligence. Investigators found the truck driver was speeding and hadn’t slept for at least 24 hours, but Wal-Mart said Morgan is responsible “in whole or in part” for his injuries.
