Veteran news anchor/reporter Tom Brokaw and his wife survived a car accident in the Bronx which left one woman dead. According to a statement, a green SUV was trying to avoid a green wire spool in the right lane of the Bruckner Expressway. The driver slid into the middle lane, in which a truck then hit the Brokaw vehicle.

According to the statement released by the Brokaw’s:

“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 were 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.”
