Tom Brokaw and his wife avoided injury today in a three-car wreck that left a woman dead today on a New York freeway. The woman was thrown from her SUV after it overturned when she swerved to avoid a spool of cable, the Post reports; the Brokaws were a car behind, and skidded along the median after the longtime NBC anchor, 69, braked to avoid a postal truck that also flipped after swerving.
