New Jersey State Police Sgt. Gregory Williams said two tractor-trailers, a sports utility vehicle and two cars, along with Morgan's limo bus rammed into each other..
"The limo bus is the only vehicle that overturned," Williams said, reports CNN. "Looks like one of the tractor-trailers may have rear-ended that limo bus, but that's preliminary at this time."
Morgan was scheduled to perform at Dover Downs Casino in Dover, Delaware, Friday night.
The former 'Saturday Night Live' cast member will soon be the father of his fourth child. He was planning to host a baby shower in Delaware with his 26-year-old girlfriend Megan Wollover on June 20, reports delawareonline.com.
