The Philadelphia Flyers star and center Daniel Briere and his son were injured in a two-car accident last week.

Briere and his son were traveling on Interstate 81 just north of the Pennsylvania border when the accident occurred.  Police officials stated that Briere was drousy at the time of the accident which may have contributed to causing the collision.  Briere decided to try and pass a tractor-trailer driving in the right lane when he veered into the right lane too early and side-swiped the tractor-trailer.  Briere’s Land Rover continued until colliding with a guard rail, and the tractor-trailer flipped after being hit.

The driver of the tractor-trailer was not injured, while Briere and his son were taken to Wilson Hospital with minor injuries.
