A law enforcement source confirmed a WEEI radio report that Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was involved in a two-car accident on the corner of Gloucester Street and Commonwealth Avenue in Boston this morning.
Here's what Boston.com's MetroDesk blog has learned:
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.
The sources said the man driving the sedan was Brady and he was treated at the scene and did not require hospitalization.
The accident comes as the Patriots are gearing up for their season opener on Sunday against the Cinncinnatti Bengals.
Patriots spokesman Stacey James didn't immediately return a message seeking comment.
