Report: Wal-Mart in $10 million settlement with family of comedian killed in highway crash

New York -- Wal-Mart Stores has reached a settlement with the two children of James McNair, the comedian who was killed in the highway accident that also seriously injured comic and former “Saturday Night Live” performer Tracy Morgan, the Associated Press reported.



Citing documents filed in New York's Westchester County, the AP reported the children were awarded a total of $10 million. The deadly crash occurred on June 7, 2014, on the New Jersey Turnpike.



“We deeply regret the loss of Mr. McNair and we worked closely with his family to insure their well-being," Wal-Mart spokesman Randy Hargrove said in the report. The retailer did not disclose the terms of the settlement.



Morgan and two other individuals injured in the accident also have sued Wal-Mart.
