American actor and comedian Tracy Morgan is in critical condition after a serious car crash on 7 June in New Jersey.

The 45-year-old actor, who is well known as a cast member on Saturday Night Live and for his role as Tracy Jordan on the television series 30 Rock, was in a limousine when the six-vehicle car crash occurred at the New Jersey Turnpike's northbound I-95 lanes near Cranbury Township.

The accident killed James McNair, a comedian better known by his stage name Jimmy Mack, who often performed with Morgan.

Celebrities took to Twitter to offer support and prayers to their friend and his family.

Even in critical condition Tracy Morgan is funnier than you. Pray for Tracy. http://t.co/yUy9lQyq2L
