David Beckham is "lucky to be alive" after being involved in a car crash.
The retired soccer star was collecting his eldest son Brooklyn, 15, from Arsenal’s training ground in London on Saturday (29.11.14) when a woman crashed her Mitsubishi into his Audi, and the pair of them are said to have had a lucky escape.
A witness revealed: "Beckham and Brooklyn are lucky to be alive. Beckham took the hit on the driver’s side – it could have been a completely different story."
The 39-year-old hunk – who also has sons Romeo, 12, and Cruz, nine, and three-year-old daughter Harper with fashion designer wife Victoria Beckham, 40 – was "massively apologetic" following the collision and is said to have given the female driver his jumper as she and her daughter waited for help.
David – who is reported to have hurt his shoulder in the accident – rushed to comfort the pair, who were later taken to hospital, after checking that Brooklyn was okay.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Beckham was turning right and mustn’t have seen the other car, or realised how fast it was travelling.
"She smacked into the side of him. It’s a miracle no one was seriously hurt. Beckham was massively apologetic."
However, the former England captain recovered in time to escort wife Victoria to the Evening Standard Theatre Awards last night (30.11.14).
