quarterback was reportedly "shaken" following the crash and refused to be taken to a hospital, the station reports.

"I understand he's fine, but I haven't talked to him," the two-time Super Bowl MVP's father, Tom Brady Sr., said outside his son's home in Boston's Back Bay neighborhood.

The elder Brady had just arrived in Boston from the family's California home and found out about the accident as soon as he got off his flight.

"Not the way you like to get off a plane," he said.

Aug. 26: New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady laughs with his teammates on the sideline during the fourth quarter of their NFL preseason football game against the St. Louis Rams in Foxborough, Mass. (Reuters).

NFL quarterback Tom Brady was reportedly driving a black Audi A8, pictured above, when his car collided with another vehicle Thursday in Boston (MyFoxBoston.com).

A passenger in the other vehicle had to be freed with the Jaws of Life and was taken to Brigham & Women's Hospital with serious injuries that are not considered life threatening, Boston Fire Department spokesman Steve MacDonald said.

Police responded to the intersection of Commonwealth Avenue and Gloucester Street at about 6:30 a.m. to reports of an accident between an Audi sedan and a minivan, police spokeswoman Elaine Driscoll said. The intersection is three blocks from Brady's home.

The accident, which knocked over a light pole, remains under investigation.

MyFoxBoston.com reports that Brady was treated at the scene and made it to Gillette Stadium for team meetings a few hours after the crash.

Bill Barron said he was in his apartment overlooking the intersection when he heard a collision that sounded like "a bolt of lightning."

When he looked out the window, he saw the driver of the car picking glass off his clothes and wiping himself off with a towel. He didn't realize until later that it was Brady.

"I thought it was some college kid who had crashed up his father's really nice car," Barron said.

Brady then retrieved some items from his car, made a series of phone calls and was picked up by another vehicle, Barron said.

The New England Patriots confirmed on Twitter and Facebook that Brady was involved in an accident.

The team's Tweet on Thursday morning said: "Patriots QB Tom Brady was in a car accident this morning. He was not hospitalized and is expected at Gillette Stadium today."

The New England Patriots are due to play their season opener on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Brady is married to supermodel Gisele Bundchen and has two children, a one-year-old son with Bundchen and a three-year-old son with model Bridget Moynahan.
