‘Lucky escape’ for Beckham and son Brooklyn after collision on LA freeway

David Beckham and his 12-year-old son Brooklyn had a ‘lucky escape’ when their car was involved in a multiple-car pile-up on Saturday on one of the busiest freeways in Los Angeles.
The 36-year-old former England captain and his son, who were both wearing seatbelts, were unhurt in the rush hour collision.
LA Galaxy star Beckham was at the wheel of his luxury black Cadillac Escalade when it became the third car in the pile-up.
The collision resulted from a gold Mitsubishi stalling in the fast lane due to mechanical problems, a California Highway Patrol spokeswoman said.
‘On Saturday at approximately 9.13am he [Beckham] was involved with a collision on the southbound 405 Freeway just south of Artesia Boulevard,’ said the spokeswoman.
The accident happened on the 405 Freeway, near Torrance, a small coastal community just outside of Los Angeles.
Beckham and his son were described as shaken but not in need of medical treatment. 
His two younger sons and pregnant wife Victoria were not in the car at the time.
The driver of the Mitsubishi, a 40-year-old Los Angeles man, was taken to hospital after complaining of pain but was not seriously injured, the spokeswoman said.
A source close to the footballer told MailOnline that the collision was not serious.
