Former NBC news anchor, Tom Brokaw, 69, and his wife were involved in an automobile accident in the Bronx on December 4, 2009; one person was killed in the collision that occurred near Bruckner and the Sheridan Expressway. Brokaw and his wife, Meredith, were unhurt in the afternoon accident. A female driver in one of the vehicles was thrown from her car and killed.

According to initial reports, the Brokaws were in the left lane when they noticed a spool of cable bouncing along the far right lane. At that same time, a driver in a green SUV came up the right lane and tried to avoid hitting the bouncing spool of cable. The driver lost control of her vehicle and slid into the middle lane forcing a mail truck into the Brokaw’s lane. Brokaw hit his brakes and skidded along the median before coming to a full stop.

Being involved in a car accident can be a horrifying experience, especially if someone died in the accident. If you have been involved in a car accident, you may need an experienced automobile accident attorney to help you understand your rights and to acquire any compensation that you may be due.
