  • 7 years ago
The truck driver involved in the crash that severely injured Tracy Morgan and killed comedian James "Jimmy Mack" McNair accepted a plea deal Tuesday that will allow him to avoid prison. Kevin Roper, 37, of Jonesboro, Ga., pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide and four counts of aggravated assault in the June 7, 2014, crash on the New Jersey Turnpike. He initially pleaded not guilty to the charges in February. As part of the plea agreement, Roper will be entered into a three-year pre-trial intervention program. Once he completes the program, which includes 300 hours of community service, the charges against him will be dismissed.
