Louis C.K. to TMZ: Take Down the Tracy Morgan Crash Video

Evan McMurryJun 12th, 2014, 10:26 am

Comedian Louis C.K. took to Twitter Wednesday night to implore TMZ to take down video of the crash that injured fellow comedian Tracy Morgan. TMZ features grainy footage of the scene just moments after a Walmart truck drive rammed into a limo bus carrying Morgan and several others on the New Jersey Turnpike, killing James MacNair and critically injuring Morgan, Ardie “Arte” Fuqua and others.

C.K. pleaded with his 3.49 million followers not to watch the video, and called on TMZ to remove it, echoing an earlier request from Fuqua’s daughter. As of this posting, the video is still on TMZ’s website.

Take it down TMZ. Now. Please. http://t.co/evEFvWniIJ
