Man Utd legend David Beckham 'injured' in car accident

Former Manchester United and Real Madrid star David Beckham has reportedly been injured in a car crash.

The 39-year-old was said to have been involved in the incident after picking his son Brooklyn up from the Arsenal training ground this morning, the Daily Telegraph reports.

The 15-year-old Brooklyn plays for Arsenal's under-16 side, and had been playing against Brighton's under-16s at London Colney in Hertfordshire.

The crash reportedly involved one other vehicle, with one young player claiming David Beckham was injured though not seriously. Father and son were understood to have been in an Audi at the time.

A source close to Beckham told the Telegraph: "They were shaken. It was quite a heavy prang at quite a speed but everybody walked away uninjured. Everybody's fine. Thankfully the car's airbags deployed."
