Comedian Tracy Morgan was involved in a car crash in New York City on Tuesday, June 4, leaving his brand new $2 million Bugatti scratched up.
"He said he got it literally an hour ago and he paid $2 million for it," Chris Ricciardelli, who witnessed the accident, told Page Six. "He just bought it... and it's pretty scraped up."
He added that Morgan said "his left hip was hurting him."
While the comedian was treated at an ambulance at the scene, witnesses told the publication Morgan seemed fine and was not transported to the hospital.
Morgan wrote about the incident on Twitter, assuring his fans that he was alright.
"Thanks for any concern but I am totally fine," he wrote. "My NEW CAR? We shall see. Love you all."
The accident comes almost five years after Morgan was involved in a near-fatal crash involving a limo.
Morgan and the others were on their way home from a standup comedy show in Delaware, officials said at the time. Around 1 a.m., a tractor-trailer "failed to slow for traffic ahead and swerved at the last minute to avoid a crash," state police Sgt. 1st Class Greg Williams said.
However, instead of avoiding a crash, the tractor-trailer slammed into the back of the Mercedes limo the comedians were in, which led to three other cars and a tractor-trailer getting hit.
When the limo overturned on the turnpike, 62-year-old comedian McNair died at the scene, while the others were flown out to a hospital in critical condition, hospital spokesperson Peter Haigney told the Associated Press.
Despite the severity of the incident, Morgan recovered, and in 2017 he told People magazine the accident served as a motivator in his career.
"When anything ever bad happened to me I made it funny and I turned it good," he added. "This was a bad thing that happened to me. I wanted to tell my story, but I also want to continue my standup career because all the great things that ever happened to me in my life came through standup."
