(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Gisele Bndchens husband Tom Brady has been involved in a car accident.

Tom plays for American football team the New England Patriots. The crash took place in Boston earlier today, although details about the incident are scarce.

The star was said to have been left shaken by the accident, which involved a car and a small van. Tom was driving his Bentley when he hit a utility pole and a van, according to The Dennis & Callahan show.

Hydraulic cutting equipment was reportedly used at the scene, although it remains unclear whether it was for Toms car or another vehicle.

Although there have been conflicting reports about whether the 33-year-old received medical care after the accident, it seems he was well enough to walk around afterwards.

Tom and Gisele married in February last year, and have a son called Benjamin who was born in December. Tom has previously spoken of how he juggles his career and family life, admitting both are extremely important to him.

It's funny for me there's not a lot of things going on in my life other than my career and my family," he said. "I think my life is very focused. I prioritised with the things that are important to me. That's my family and my football career. There's nothing other than that." (C) Cover Media
