Driver Involved In Tracy Morgan's Bugatti Car Wreck Says She Was 'Traumatized'
Comedian Tracy Morgan was not happy after his new Bugatti was involved in a car wreck in New York City on Tuesday just minutes after he purchased the $2 million luxury vehicle. And the woman who was involved in the incident says she was scared after Morgan became upset when he was sideswiped.
Jocelyn Madulid, 61, who was driving a Honda SUV, told the New York Post's Page Six, "I asked the traffic officer, why people taking pictures and he said, 'You don’t watch TV? That's a famous guy.'"
After Tuesday's incident, Madulid says she was "traumatized" when Morgan yelled at her. "He was yelling at me, I got scared. I didn’t yell anything back. I just stayed in my car," she said.
Following the wreck, Morgan was captured on camera banging on her window. She was on her way to work at the time and is now concerned her insurance bill will increase due to the high cost of Morgan's car. "I’m worried about that," she said.
Madulid also said she is not the one who was in the wrong in the accident. "We are both turning right – people are still crossing," she said. "So what happened is we’re both turning right. But I know he hit me because I was already [turning]. I was there, he was the one who hit me!"
Nearly five years ago, Morgan was involved in a car crash that left one person dead. A limo bus he was riding in on the New Jersey Turnpike following a concert in 2014 was rear-ended by a Walmart tractor-trailer and was overturned. Morgan was left in critical condition and was in a coma for two weeks. Court documents suggest he received a $90 million settlement from Walmart.
