The driver, Kevin Roper, originally from Jonesboro, Ga., was reportedly driving 20 mph over the speed limit. Roper had also reportedly been awake for more than 24 hours. Roper has pleaded not guilty to criminal charges, which include vehicular homicide and assault by auto. Roper was let go on a $50,000 bond. Roper could face up to 10 years in prison, according to reports.

"We remain mindful of the victims and continue to express our deepest sympathies to the family of James McNair, and our heartfelt wishes for a full recovery of those who suffered injuries in the accident," Roper's attorney said in a statement released. "While this case continues to remain in the spotlight, we have no interest in commenting on rumor or speculation, exchanging a news conference for a jury, or sacrificing Mr. Roper's presumption of innocence for a sound bite."

In a statement released Friday by his publicist, Morgan and his fiancée Megan Wollover "wanted to publicly express their deepest gratitude to everyone at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital for the unbelievable care and attention they provided him."
