Tracy Morgan was clearly irritated as he was filmed struggling to get out of his Ferrari with a new woman by his side [VIDEO]
The comedian needed assistance exiting his low-sitting sports car in New York City, sparking reactions about his lasting injuries from the 2014 Walmart truck crash
Tracy Morgan was recently spotted struggling to exit his blue Ferrari SF90 Stradale on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, and he appeared visibly irritated by the attention. The 51-second video, posted to X by @KillaKreww this afternoon (March 10). It shows the comedian needing assistance from a man in a suit to get out of the low-sitting supercar while a woman who was riding with him exits the passenger side. The clip has generated over 1.9 million views, 3,833 likes, and 725 replies.
The footage reveals Morgan gripping the door frame for leverage and moving slowly as he attempts to lift his body from the low seat. Additionally, the entire exit process takes approximately 30-40 seconds, much longer than typical for such vehicles. Meanwhile, paparazzi can be heard asking “Tracy, how you doing sir?” as he finally stands upright and walks away from the car with a noticeable limp.
Tracy Morgan Needed Help Getting Out of Low Ferrari
The video begins with Morgan inside the blue Ferrari SF90 Stradale, a high-performance sports car with a seat height of approximately 18-20 inches from the ground. The car’s low-slung design and wide door sills make entry and exit challenging even for people without mobility issues.
Morgan is shown extending his leg outward first, followed by his upper body. Meanwhile, he was gripping the door frame for support. A man in a dark suit approaches and extends his hand to assist. Therefore, the man pulls on Morgan’s arm to help him emerge from the vehicle. Morgan, meanwhile, uses his free hand to push off the seat.
The woman who was riding in the passenger seat exits on her own and stands nearby. Thus, observing without offering immediate assistance. After several seconds of maneuvering, Morgan achieves a standing position but remains bent at the waist, steadying himself on the car before fully straightening up.
His facial expression throughout the process shows concentration, with his mouth slightly open and brows furrowed. Additionally, when paparazzi greet him, Morgan appears frustrated by the attention as he adjusts his light-colored shirt and shorts before walking away.
Lasting Injuries From 2014 Walmart Truck Crash Affect Mobility
Tracy Morgan’s difficulty exiting the low sports car is directly related to lasting injuries from a devastating 2014 accident. On June 7, 2014, Morgan was involved in a multi-vehicle collision on the New Jersey Turnpike. A Walmart tractor-trailer rear-ended the limousine bus he was riding in after a performance in Dover, Delaware.
The National Transportation Safety Board determined that driver fatigue was the primary cause. Also, the truck driver had been awake for approximately 28 hours and failed to slow down in a construction zone. The limousine bus overturned, and comedian James “Jimmy Mack” McNair was killed at the scene.
Morgan sustained severe injuries including a traumatic brain injury and multiple fractures. He broke his femur, ribs, and every bone in his face. In addition, he had internal bleeding, and nasal fractures. He was airlifted to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, New Jersey. There, he remained in critical condition and was placed in a medically induced coma for two weeks.
Following the coma, Morgan experienced temporary blindness for a week. He spent five months in a wheelchair and underwent months of physical therapy, speech therapy, and cognitive therapy to relearn walking, talking, and basic motor functions. Therefore, the traumatic brain injury resulted in long-term effects including depression, anxiety, mood swings, memory issues, and persistent mobility challenges.
The $90 Million Walmart Settlement
Morgan filed a lawsuit against Walmart, alleging negligence in allowing a fatigued driver to operate the vehicle. The case was settled in 2015 for an undisclosed amount reported by various sources as $90 million. However, Walmart has not confirmed the figure.
Despite the massive settlement, Morgan has publicly forgiven the driver and emphasized themes of resilience and gratitude in his memoir “I Am the New Black,” which was updated in 2019. He has continued his career since the accident, appearing in shows like “The Last O.G.” and stand-up specials.
However, Morgan has occasionally discussed the lasting physical limitations he faces, including difficulty with low-seated vehicles. The Ferrari SF90 Stradale he was filmed exiting requires significant hip and knee flexibility that his injuries make challenging.
Multiple High-End Supercars That Make Up Tracy Morgan’s Car Collection
Despite his mobility challenges, Morgan maintains an affinity for luxury sports cars. He has been spotted in various high-end vehicles including Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and Bugattis. In 2025, his 2025 Ferrari SF90 Stradale was featured at the New York International Auto Show’s Celebrity Car Corner. Thus, highlighting its over 1,000 horsepower hybrid performance.
Reports indicate he owns multiple Ferraris, including a LaFerrari valued at $5 million, which he drives infrequently. The Ferrari SF90 Stradale shown in the video has a ground clearance of approximately 4.3 inches, making it one of the lowest-sitting vehicles on the market.
This combination of loving fast cars while dealing with mobility issues has created situations like the one captured in the viral video. Additionally, the impracticality of such vehicles for someone with Morgan’s injuries has sparked debate among fans online.
