Tracy Morgan crashes his brand new $2 million Bugatti Chiron



American actor and comedian, Tracy Morgan, crashed his newly acquired, $2 million convertible Bugatti Chiron in midtown Manhattan about a half-mile from where he bought the car.

According to the police, Morgan, 50, was driving the Bugatti Chiron he had just driven from the dealership on 51st St. and 11th Ave. when it was sideswiped by a woman driving a Honda CRV at W. 42nd St. and 10th Ave. at 1:35 p.m.

Michael Sexton, the Bugatti sales manager at Manhattan Motorcars, confirmed that Morgan picked up the lux wheels about 30 minutes before the accident.

“This was his dream car. He was talking about it all weekend.

“He couldn’t wait to get it. It was something he wanted to leave to his daughter. Luckily it wasn’t that bad. It’s something easy to repair.” HE SAID.

Minutes after the actor’s accident, he gave n update on his Twiter page;

“Thanks for any concern but I am totally fine. My NEW CAR? We shall see. Love you all.”

New York Times reports that Morgan called Sexton, the man who sold him the car, right after the crash.

Manhattan Motorcars employee Frank Pica said Morgan is a beloved customer who owned a 2008 Bugatti.

“Those cars are exceptionally rare and to get one of any year is special,” Pica said. “He just bought it today. That style with no top is usually (worth) over $2 million. It’s the first time he drove it.

“I couldn’t believe it. It was his maiden voyage,” Pica, 37, added. “Thank God it was a scratch. It was actually more of a rub.”

The accident happened three days shy of the five-year anniversary of the horrific New Jersey Turnpike smash up that killed one of Morgan’s friends and left the actor critically injured when the van they were in was hit by a Walmart truck.
