ESPN Broadcaster Chris Berman’s Wife Killed In A Car Crash

This is horrible. So, so horrible.

Surely, you’re familiar with ESPN broadcaster, Chris Berman. He’s basically a sports broadcasting icon. According to reports, his wife of 33 years, Kathy Berman, died in car accident in Connecticut early Tuesday. The other driver, Edward Bertulis, 87, also died as a result of the accident.

“This is a devastating tragedy and difficult to comprehend,” John Skipper, President of ESPN, said in a statement. “Chris is beloved by all his ESPN colleagues and for good reason: He has a huge heart and has given so much to so many over the years. We know how much his family means to him and all we can do at a moment like this is give him the love and support he will surely need at this hour. Our thoughts and prayers are with Chris, Meredith, Doug and the entire family.”

Chris Berman was at a Mets game, was informed by NYPD about his wife's death. Right before Mother's Day too. Feel so bad for him & his kids
