Walmart Alleges Tracy Morgan Crash Injuries From Not Wearing Seat Belt

[CatWoman]

Walmart today faulted Tracy Morgan for not wearing his seat belt in connection to the injuries the comedian sustained in June from a six-car crash on the New Jersey Turnpike.

Morgan, 45, and others are suing the retailer after one of its trucks slammed into the "30 Rock" star's limo bus, sending him to the hospital and killing a fellow passenger, James McNair.

In New Jersey federal court filings, Walmart faulted Morgan and the rest of his injured entourage, saying they did not wear their seat belts.

Morgan's rep did not immediately respond to ABC News’ request for comment.

Walmart denied allegations of recklessness and negligence and claimed the injuries happened "by failure to wear an appropriate available seat belt restraint device.”

Walmart added that if the passengers had been wearing safety restraints, “all or a portion of the injuries could have been diminished or minimized.”
