According to media reports, Former NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw was involved in a fatal three-car accident in New York.

Brokaw, 69, and his wife were not injured in the car accident on Friday in New York and released the following statement:

“The Brokaws were in the far left lane when they noticed a spool of cable bouncing along the far right lane. Just then, a green SUV in the right lane came up fast and tried to avoid the cable. The driver lost control of her vehicle and slid into the middle lane, forcing a mail truck into the Brokaw lane of traffic.

“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.”

Suejas Estrada, 28, of the Bronx, died in the three car accident.

“Tom and Meredith are greatly saddened by this loss of life” the statement read.
