The new football season starts tonight, but New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady faced a different challenge today. The player survived a major 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."

Boston police confirmed 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.

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 are scheduled to play Sunday.

Tom Brady is married to supermodel Gisele Bundchen, and the two have a 3-year-old son together. He also had a toddler son from a previous marriage to Bridget Moynahan.
