Tom Brokaw and his wife found themselves part of a 3-vehicle accident in the Bronx on Friday that left one woman dead!
Brokaw was not responsible for the accident on the Bruckner Expressway in New York Friday afternoon, which killed Suejas Estrada and injured a USPS worker.
According to a statement released by NBC, the former news anchor was driving his 2006 Volvo station wagon when he witnessed a Ford Expedition (Estrada) that “came up fast” behind him.
Estrada swerved left to dodge hitting a spool of cable, but ended up slamming a Postal Service truck into the center lane.
The statement explains the accident in detail: “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.”
Brokaw and his wife were left unharmed, but the impact of the crash threw Estrada through the driver’s side window, causing her death.
So, so sad.
