Patriots QB Tom Brady involved in Boston car accident
08:38 AM
New England Patriots QB Tom Brady was involved in a car accident on Thursday morning, WEEI-AM in Boston reported.
The station, with which Brady has a scheduled appearance each week, said Brady did not go to the hospital but was "shaken."
The Boston Globe and ESPN reported that Brady left the scene after the accident and was headed to work at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough.
The Patriots host the Cincinnati Bengals in the season opener on Sunday.
Boston police confirmed to the Globe that one person was removed from a car via the Jaws of life and then taken to a hospital. One car hit a pole, which then fell.
Police told the paper they responded to the incident at 6:34 a.m. ET.
WHDH-TV in Boston had video of the accident, which involved a red minivan and a black Audi.
On Wednesday, Brady spoke about how he wants to remain with the Patriots for his career, but did not confirm that the sides are close to an extension of a contract. His current deal expires after this season.
Update 9:02 a.m. ET: A user on the photo sharing site Yfrog posted two photos of what appears to be Brady outside a black sedan after the accident. One of the photos shows fire officials on the scene.
