The 45-year-old former Saturday Night Live and 30 Rock star suffered broken ribs and a broken leg in the June 7 crash on the New Jersey Turnpike. The crash killed fellow comedian James McNair and seriously injured two other people.
Prosecutors say Wal-Mart driver Kevin Roper's truck hit Mr Morgan's limo. Kevin has pleaded not guilty to death by auto and assault by auto charges.
A criminal complaint alleges Kevin hadn't slept for more than 24 hours before the accident when he swerved to avoid slowed traffic on the turnpike and plowed into the actor's limo.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc., based in Bentonville, Arkansas, has not explained what Kevin's driving route was. It has said it believes he was in compliance with federal safety regulations. (Also read: Tracy Morgan Still in Hospital But Showing Signs of Improvement)
