Tracy Morgan got a bit of good news Saturday: His physical therapy routine following the June 7 New Jersey Turnpike crash has progressed far enough that he’s been released from a rehabilitation clinic.

Morgan suffered a broken leg, nose and ribs in the six-vehicle crash, which killed fellow comedian James “Jimmy Mack” McNair.

Kay also confirms that Morgan is a co-plaintiff in a lawsuit against Wal-Mart, filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in New Jersey.

The suit alleges the retail giant acted in a negligent manner by allowing tractor-trailer driver Kevin Roper to drive despite being awake for over 24 hours, causing him to fall asleep at the wheel. A National Transportation Safety Board investigation also found the sleep-deprived trucker was going 20 miles per hour over the limit in a construction zone and near his allotted drive-time limit when he hit and flipped Morgan’s limousine van.
