New York, Dec 7 (THAINDIAN NEWS) It was a miraculous escape for Tom Brokaw and his wife Meredith, as their car had a major accident with a mail truck. However they escaped unscathed even though one person was killed in this accident. It was basically a three-vehicle accident. The accident happened on Friday afternoon on the Bruckner Expressway when police say an SUV driver lost control of her vehicle and hit a mail truck. And Tom Brokaw’s car collided with the mail truck.
This major accident happened about 1 p.m. as Tom Brokaw was driving in the left lane of the northbound Bruckner Expressway in the Bronx. Suddenly they noticed a huge loop of cable prancing in the far right lane, which caused the driver of the green SUV to lose control as she tried to avoid it the cable and weave her SUV through it safely. Instead the SUV deflected into the middle lane while trying to escape from the cable. Things would have had been fine if the mail truck wasn’t subsequently shoved into the Brokaw’s lane. And then the truck collided with Brokaw’s vehicle.
The lady who was driving the SUV was killed instantly and the driver of the mail truck was also hospitalized with injuries. However Tom Brokaw and his wife Meredith are fine.
The 69-year-old Brokaw and his wife, Meredith, said in a statement they were “greatly saddened by this loss of life.”
