Comedian Tracy Morgan made an appearance in Dover this weekend after his 2014 traffic accident that killed his friend and critically injured him.

The Wilmington News Journal reports that the one thing the comedian did not mention was the fact that Dover Downs was his destination when the accident occurred.

He did talk a great deal about the accident Friday night and invited those who were with him in the van the night of the accident to come up on stage.

The News Journal reports that the audience gave him a standing ovation as the group stood arm-in-arm at the center of the stage.

It was a sold out crowd.

Over two years ago Morgan’s van was hit from behind by a Wal-Mart tractor-trailer on the New Jersey Turnpike.
