Tracy Morgan meets the man who saved his life

London, Jun 5 (PTI) Comedy star Tracy Morgan had an emotional meeting with the first responder who saved his life.

The 47-year-old funnyman lost his close friend James 'Jimmy' McNair when a Walmart truck smashed into their limousine on the New Jersey Turnpike in 2014 and Morgan recently met the man who pulled him out of the wreckage, reported Femalefirst.

"He was shaking for two years now, and I just held him and told him 'I love you very much, I love you very much, thank you so much.' And we started to talk and he said when he pulled me out, a 23-year-old man, I was covered, and he was covered in my blood from head to toe, and he said I was swinging.

"I said, 'Why was I doing that?' And he said, 'You were fighting for your life.' I wasn't ready to go man. I got a little girl, I got sons, I got my audience, I got my wife, I wasn't ready to go," Morgan said.
