Morgan did a stand-up comedy gig Friday night at Dover Downs Hotel & Casino in Delaware and presumably was on his way back to his home in Bergen County, N.J. His scheduled appearance at the Fillmore Charlotte in North Carolina on Saturday night has been canceled.
Accident investigation and cleanup kept that section of the road closed until 6:30 a.m.
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.
