Tweet
New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was in a car accident this morning in Boston’s Back Bay section, but he did not receive medical treatment and is on his way to work, sources told the Globe this morning.
A sedan and a passenger van collided at 6:34 a.m. at Commonwealth Avenue and Gloucester Street, said Boston Fire Department spokesman Steve MacDonald.
The driver of the sedan was able to get out and was walking around after the crash. A man was stuck in the back of the passenger van and had to be removed with the Jaws of Life, then transported to an area hospital, MacDonald said. He said the traffic light was hit during the accident and Boston police were investigating.
A law enforcement source said the man driving the sedan was Brady. The passenger in the van was unconscious after the accident and was transported to Brigham and Women’s Hospital, police said.
Globe sportswriter Albert Breer reported this morning, based on a source familiar with the situation, that Brady did not receive medical treatment and is on his way to work at Gillette Stadium Foxborough.
The crash comes as the Patriots are gearing up for their season opener on Sunday against the Cinncinnatti Bengals. The Globe reported earlier this week that Brady and the Patriots were trying to iron out a three-year contract extension that would pay him $58 million, averaging $19.3 million per year.
