Tom Brokaw and his wife, Meredith, escaped injury in a deadly accident that left one woman dead in the Bronx.
A three-vehicle accident involving a car driven by Tom Brokaw sent a woman flying out of her SUV and off a Bronx expressway to her death, police sources said.
Suejaes Estrada, 30, fell 40 feet from the Bruckner Expressway near Amtrak train tracks in Hunts Point.
Brokaw and his wife, Meredith, escaped injury in the wreck.
“Neither Tom nor Meredith were injured, but tragically the driver of the SUV was thrown from her vehicle and killed,” the former NBC anchor said in a statement.
“Tom and Meredith are greatly saddened by this loss of life.”
The 1 p.m. crash was set in motion when Estrada tried to avoid debris on the northbound lanes, lost control and careened into the middle lane - sending a U.S. Postal Service mail truck swerving into Brokaw’s lane.
“Tom hit the brakes hard and skidded along the median,” his statement said. “When the mail truck catapulted the median, the Brokaw vehicle slid into it.”
The postal driver, who was not identified, was treated for trauma. Brokaw, 69, and his wife were not hospitalized. Read more..
