Richard Harbus/(Richard Harbus/for New York Dai Tracy Morgan comes outside to look at some landscaping on his property in Creskill, N.J., on Wednesday. Funnyman Tracy Morgan leaned on a cane and grimaced at times Wednesday as he struggled to climb down the front two steps of his New Jersey home.
Morgan, who was badly hurt in a deadly crash that killed a close pal, could be seen pausing between steps before soldiering on in exclusive obtained by The Daily News.
Dressed in a white hoodie, jeans and a do-rag that was later replaced by a New York Giants cap, Morgan came out to inspect some landscaping work that had been completed at his Cresskill, N.J., home.
The beloved comedian was met with encouraging smiles from people who appeared to be relatives, but the cane soon gave way to a sturdier walker and his progress appeared to be painfully slow as he inched his way to a waiting SUV.
There have been few public sightings of the “30 Rock” star since June 7, when a Wal-Mart truck smashed into Morgan’s limousine bus on the New Jersey Turnpike.
Morgan was critically injured with a broken leg and broken ribs and another comedian, 62-year-old James (Jimmy Mack) McNair, was killed.
The 45-year-old former Saturday Night Live star sued Wal-Mart for negligence, arguing the company was culpable because driver Kevin Roper had been awake for more than 24 hours at the time of the crash.
Comedian Ardley Fuqua and Jeffrey and Krista Millea, who were passengers in the limo, are also named as plaintiffs in Morgan's lawsuit.
The retail giant blamed Morgan for not wearing a seat belt and denied any responsibility for the wreck.
Roper was going 65 mph, about 20 mph over the speed limit, when he rammed Morgan's limo, federal investigators said.
Morgan's lawsuit alleges Roper fell asleep at the wheel.
Roper has pleaded not guilty to charges of vehicular homicide and assault by auto.
