Tom and his wife Meredith are alive and unharmed after being involved in a fatal car accident Friday afternoon.
“Tom and Meredith Brokaw, at around 1 PM … were in a three vehicle accident on the Bruckner Expressway. 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.”
Brokaw and his wife both expressed sadness at the loss of life. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family of the woman who was killed. I saw a horrendous car crash a few weekends ago that shook me to the core– two semis, one on fire, and a crumpled gum wrapper that used to be a Cadillac Escalade. People were wandering around the grass median weeping and looking lost. It’s enough to make you never want to drive on the interstate again.
I’m not sure if the woman who was ejected was wearing her seatbelt, but it’s a good bet that she wasn’t. I’m amazed by people that don’t buckle their seatbelts. Would you leave the safety bar up on a roller coaster? No! And a car is worse- they don’t run on a track. You’re just hurtling along at 90 mph in a 4 door bullet with a bunch of other bullets being driven by people checking their voicemails and eating Big Macs and fighting with their kids or their boyfriends.
Buckle up, people! It’s such an easy thing to do that could potentially save your life. You have to be around to tell me how much my writing sucks and correct all my spelling mistakes.
