Two years ago, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady’s season was derailed during the first quarter of the first game. Today, Brady may have avoided one or more injuries that could have kept him from playing at all in 2010.
WEEI radio in Boston reports that Brady was involved in an automobile accident in Boston on Thursday. Brady reportedly was “shaken,” and the jaws of life reportedly were used to free the driver of another vehicle.
Another source told WEEI that Brady went to a local hospital, but WEEI is now reporting that Brady did not go to the hospital. WEEI also reports that Brady has contacted the Patriots and will be heading to the team’s facility.
Per WEEI, Brady’s Audi apparently struck a Ford minivan. Though the Audi reportedly had significant front-end damage, Brady reportedly was out of the car and walking around after the accident.

Rub some dirt on it Tom, you’ll be fine.
Whew! That sucks. Glad to hear no fatalities.
Now…time for some football!
Brady will escape charges, ref will throw the flag on the other driver.
Reportedly.
Hopefully everything checks out for all involved and they come out of this with a few scratches at worst.
- Jets fan~
Was Gisele on the scene with a golf club? Not you you to Tom.
I hope the poor guy can afford the repairs on his meager salary.
Would this be a catalyst to his signing the contract? He has to feel incredibly lucky to have avoided any injuries, but at the same time reconsider what could have happened with his future had he been not so lucky.
Take 15 mil a year, and be a happy man. You never know when life may derail you.
BREAKING NEWS: Bernard Pollard confirmed as the driver of the Ford Minivan. When reached for further comment, his only response was, “Damn. Only 1 for 2.”
GOOD ,hes walking around after the accident ,means hes ready to play on sunday
They are screwed if something happens to him.
…..so is my fantasy team.
Redraft!!! Redraft!!…..I call for a redraft!
I’m glad he’s OK. I wish it would have caused him to miss a few games, but I’m glad he’s OK.
So now the New England Patriots have their excuse.
njhitman,
yeh, did they use the Tuck Rule for why Brady was in the other lane of traffic, hence it wasn’t Tom’s fault.
Don’t blame Rey Rey, he only hits parked cars and parking meters.
@kdish87: LOL. But I think he’s 2 for 3, don’t forget Welker…

“Per WEEI, Brady’s Audi apparently struck a Ford minivan.”
I am sure some ambulence chaser has been called already.
He’s fine. “Shaken up” but fine. He’s already at Gillette.
Almost lost that big new contract. Better be careful until the ink dries… Glad he is ok.
He is on his way to the Stadium so I guess he is ok. His Audi A8? not so much.
Wonder if it was caught on traffic cam?

Nice Post.
The other driver is in critical condition at Brigham and Womens Hospital. Supposedly that vehicle blew through the Red light and Brady T-boned it. His car looks pretty bad.
Glad he’s ok……..I’ve got Moss in my fantasy league…..LOL. No, seriously, I’m glad no one was reportedly hurt. Tom appears to be ok but with the jaws of life having to be used on the other vehicle, I’ll be praying for whomever that was.
How’s his hair????????
I could see the Patriots slowly pulling the contract off the table when the heard this story. “what contract”
I bet he signs that contract now
Spygate remark, tuck rule remark, Jets Super Bowl prediction.
Gee, funny how this is just an accident…luckily no one got hurt, he was drunk (or was he), he didn’t have a gun in his car…just amazing that a normal think like a minor traffic accident can happen to a pro athlete…
Seriously, I’m glad it appears there were no major injuries and Tom Terrific is ok to play for the Media’s favorite team…but seems like a lot of ‘ado’ over nothing…
BTW, Tommy, better sign that contract if you haven’t already….
What about his hair?! Is his hair okay?
Likely applying makeup while trying to drive.
Glad to hear Tom is okay, and I hope the other driver is as well. Before you morons start jumping on Brady, how about we wait to hear how the accident was caused? Could have been Brady’s fault, could have been the other driver’s fault. Until we know that, maybe you clowns ought to wait before taking your shots.
Steelers fans have to wish this was all they had to worry about with their idiot QB.
I heard he smashed his head on the steering wheel pretty good but that pretty boy hair kept him safe.
Actually what happened is Tom was killed on impact, but he rose from the dead and made it to practice on time.
Brady was last seen running from the scene to sign a new contract. The hospital can wait.
Bet he won’t buy anything but Audi in the future. You get what you pay for, and that’s why Audi is such a great maker of automobiles. I feel absolutely safe driving my A6 over here on the autobahn even while being passed doing 115mph.
Should be funny at the end of a 9 and 7 year to hear him say he never recovered from that car accident.
This just in.. the “minvan” that rammed him was a old piece o’ crap VW with Virgina plates.
someone needs to confirm if Giselle is OK
What’s truly pathetic is that the authors of most of these comments actually think they’re funny.
It is a good thing this wasn’t Tavaris Jackson. The PFT jury would have convicted him and be calling for a suspension…if he actually played.
I just don’t understand people sometimes…….
Some that have posted comments are more concerned about how this might effect their stupid fantasy team. Damn people, human lives are being effected.
Yea, we razz each other in comments, hell, I hammer on Florio and the rest of the PFT staff every chance I get. But when it comes down to “real life”, how can people sit there and hope he plays, hope he doesn’t play, etc……
I will never understand how some people can be so selfish, seemingly caring more for fantasy than a human being.
Time to grow up people!

God Dam mini van!!!

I suppose the Patriots have film of Tom getting into his car before the accident.

Like so many other occurrences in Tom Brady’s career, I’m sure he had prior video footage on what the Ford Minivan was going to do therefore he was able to come out victorious in this scenario as well.
i dont get the bernard pollard joke someone halp
also RIP tom brady you were a good qb.
Early morning car accidents are never a good thing..
He should’ve taken the T..
Better call”SAUL”
wish he woulda broke both legs….. probably could not see with his girl hair…..what a homo
I bet his hair got in his eyes!!
Did he ask the paramedics to throw a flag for roughing him up?
he walked on water away from the accident anyway.
I guess he wasn’t on the Tom Brady Pass Way… Otherwise Florio would have said he was dead for sure!!!!
Who cares if it’s his fault- he’s Tom F’ing Brady
http://www1.whdh.com/news/articles/local/12002173077017/tom-brady-involved-in-2-car-accident/ Doesn’t look that bad.
“Some that have posted comments are more concerned about how this might effect their stupid fantasy team. Damn people, human lives are being effected. ”
FANTASY FOOTBALL IS NOT STUPID.. take it back ..
The other driver: “Honey, I gotta go….Friggin Tom Brady just crashed into me….see you at dinner”
Bellicheats gps blue screened directing him into oncoming traffic……
Did he lose his gerbil, again?

He’s Tom Brady, not Tim Tebow.
I hope everyone is OK
Steeler Fan
Gee… with the new contract… why is he driving? Seems he should be in a limo with 15 or so GFs.
Oh, sorry, my bad… thought this was the Tiger story!
Leonard Little in town trying out for the Pats?
Front of Audi smashed and other driver needed Jaws to get them out sounds like a T-bone which means someone made a big booboo.
Living in Las Vegas any incident like this is a drunk driver 99% of the time.
Obviously not Tommy, everyone would be all over that.
don’t worry, Matt Walsh got it all on film
Brady’s Audi apparently struck a Ford minivan because the lady looked like someone who took something out of his garbage can
Has to be false! An Audi? This guy only drives Buggati’s or Ferrari’s…no self-respecting millionaire would be in an Audi.
He’s ok he was strapped into his bigboy carseat
Much ado about nothing. There are far more important things in the news world to report on. Get a grip news agencies!!
Do we know if the passenger in the car was Giselle? Hmm.
according to news reports, it wasn’t Brady’s fault. The minivan went threw a red
Hopefully the driver in the van is OK. Apparently the van ran a red light and Tom’s Audi t boned him.
These football players go thru 2-3 car wrecks every Sunday during the season, so this shouldn’t be too bad.
But in all seriousness I hope that other driver pulls thru OK, that van’s passenger side was crushed.
There were two mini vans. One came from the grassy knoll. Down …and to the left.
How is the other driver?
Funny how men call Brady gay because of his hairstyle…you do realize you are a guy commenting on another guy’s hairstyle right?
Yeah—-Tommy definitely T-boned the van—not the other way around as originally reported.. Hitting in the rear of the van also indicates that the van had “control of the intersection” making Brady responsible regardless of red klight status. Probably “sexting” his boyfriends. Wake up and open your wallet Tommy!
Damn minivan ran the wrong route. Are we sure Moss wasn’t driving it?
To Mr.T. Brady, I hope that all is fine with you and the other party. Be careful with these money hungry people. To those that are so jealous of “T” good fortune how low can you go.
Odds of being killed in auto accident are 1 in 80
Odds of being hurt in an quot accident are 1 in 40
I don’t how this doesn’t happen to more proffessional athletes.
Even when they guy in the Aerostar gets out of the hospital…he’s probably in for a rough time. He might have to go be a ranch hand for Bill Buckner in Montana.
He better have had a helmet on!!!!
Signed,
“Big” Ben Roethlisberger
Everyone complaining that this site is covering the football angle of this instead of focusing on the driver of the minivan, please direct your attention to the top of the page. This is Pro FOOTBALL Talk. Not Pro AVERAGE JOE Talk.
Hey I just heard Dan Hampton on Pro Football Weekly say (and I quote)
“I heard Gis was in that car with Brady and when that van that some oriental was drivin pulled out in front of him Brady got “Garped” -hahaha – seriously he ain’t got no balls so why does he need a penis?”
I didn’t say it – Hampton did.

Haha, that was funny and true. That’s why it works so well. They should have used the Jasws of life to pry Brady out of that Justin Beiber haircut.
Brady had a green light and the van ran the red light. Here are pics of the crash. Nothing serious. Reports over exagerated it.

Reporter/cripple beater Ron Borges was on the scene . He was overheard on the phone telling Drew Bledsoe to suit up.
@whosyer12: Where I live, if you run a red light, you are at fault for any accident that occurrs in the intersection. Wake up and get a clue moron.
I hope his hair is ok! Please tell me his hair is ok.

Guess he will be needing that extra cash after all

Now that’s funny…but seriously I’m glad he’s okay. Love him or hate him he’s just awesome on the field!!!
I would not kick earthboy of my bed…LOL!
He was swerving to try and hit the guy on a motorcycle going the wrong way with no helmet. But he missed Ben and hit the van.
All kidding aside though, hopefully the other person is ok!!
According to WTBS, it has been reported that Brady before the Accident had been to doing some late night drinking in a South Boston Pub, and that he was not only intoxicated, which is why he refused to go to a hospital, but that some used condoms were found in his front seat. Suggesting a little romance out on the town ?
So, whether this report is true or not, just like Ben Roethlisberger’s situation, this to now brings bad negative press to the league. So, I wonder when Roger Goodell is gonna suspend Brady!
@PFTiswhatitis
Never been t-boned by a car that ran a red light that was insured by Allstate–have you?
You need to wake up and smell the reality, Junior.

Umm, running a red light does not give you “control of the intersection.” This is not musical chairs. It scares me that morons like you are out there and actually believe crap like that.
Regarding: PFTiswhatitis
“@whosyer12: Where I live, if you run a red light, you are at fault for any accident that occurrs in the intersection. Wake up and get a clue moron.”
Florio–you’re an ambulance chaser—straighten this naive fool out–will you?
Good thing Jonathan Papelbon wasn’t the paramedic…He’d have blown the save
OMG! I hope his hair plugs didn’t get jarred loose. Then he won’t be able to rock his Justin Bieber look!
@whosyer:
Brady didn’t hit the rear end of the van, it was closer to the front, but pretty much the whole middle passenger side of the van was crushed.
I have no idea what you’re talking about and not a lot of MA drivers have Allstate since we just opened up competitive insurance shopping up here.

Truth. Along with idiots who think it’s anything but stupid and third grade level to call some other guy gay. Who cares where he sticks it? How is that some big time insult? Ooooohh Brady has green eyes too. Just as meaningful of a “crack”.
I have to say as a Pats fan the comment about BP being the driver and Gisele wielding the golf club were funny as hell. Good ones!
He’s ok he was strapped into his bigboy carseat
Would have been ironic as hell had he screwed up both knees in that crash!!! God is good……
