NBC news anchor Tom Brokaw and his wife Meredith were involved in a 3-car accident in New York today.
While the Brokaw’s were unhurt, another person was taken to a local hospital in serious condition. A 28 year old woman, who was the driver of the SUV, (mentioned below in the statement) was killed.
The Brokaw’s just released their own statement:
Tom and Meredith Brokaw, at around 1 p.m. today, were in a three vehicle accident on the Bruckner Expressway. The Brokaw's were in the far left lane when they noticed a spool of cable bouncing along the far right lane.
Just then, a green SUV in the right lane came up fast and tried to avoid the cable. The driver lost control of her vehicle and slid into the middle lane, forcing a mail truck into the Brokaw lane of traffic. As the mail truck careened into the Brokaw lane, Tom hit the brakes hard and skidded along the median. When the mail truck catapulted the median the Brokaw vehicle slid into it.
Neither Tom nor Meredith was injured but tragically the driver of the SUV was thrown from her vehicle and killed. Tom and Meredith are greatly saddened by this loss of life."
Tom Brokaw, spoke yesterday about the just announced Comcast/NBC merger, calling the prospective merger "a good thing." Check out what he says in the video below.
