30 Rock star Tracy Morgan is in intensive care following a serious crash on the New Jersey Turnpike north of Trenton, state police confirm.

The comedian's tour bus was one of the six vehicles impacted when the driver of a tractor-trailer came upon slow-moving traffic in the northbound lanes at Exit 7A near Cranbury Township and was unable to stop in time, state police told Philadelphia's NBC10.

Morgan, 45, was taken to Robert Wood Johnson Medical Center in New Brunswick, as confirmed by a hospital spokesperson. Police say one of the passengers from his bus died; three others were critically injured and one is listed as being in fair condition.

Accident investigation and cleanup kept that section of the road closed until 6:30 a.m.

Morgan was scheduled to perform at a casino in Dover, Del., Friday night.
Morgan joined Saturday Night Live in 1996 and was on the sketch-comedy program for seven years before leaving to star in The Tracy Morgan Show in 2003. That show lasted just one season. In 2006, Morgan found a long-running role in NBC's hit show 30 Rock, which was created by SNL co-star Tina Fey.

Morgan grew up fatherless, one of five siblings, in a blighted section of Brooklyn, where he helped raise and support the family.
He once called his gift for being funny "a defense mechanism" for his miserable circumstances.

As a teen he started doing comedy on the streets to supplement the family's welfare income.

In late 2010, Morgan had a kidney transplant.

Morgan and his fiancee, Megan Wolover, welcomed their first child in July.
