David Beckham and his son Brooklyn had a lucky escape when his luxury car was involved in a multiple-car pile-up on a busy freeway near Los Angeles last week.

The incident happened on the 405 Freeway, near Torrance, a small coastal community just outside of Los Angeles.
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, said a California Highway Patrol spokeswoman.
''Yesterday at approximately 9.13am he [Beckham] was involved with a collision on the southbound 405 Freeway just south of Artesia Boulevard,'''' said the spokeswoman.
A source close to the footballer told MailOnline that Beckham and Brooklyn were shaken up and shocked by the experience but medically they were both fine.
"It was a lucky escape and both were wearing seatbelts, otherwise they would have been more seriously hurt. The car that stalled was in the car pool lane on the highway. It's a fast lane for cars with two or more passengers," said the source.
"When it stalled, David and the other drivers swerved to avoid it but they couldn't get out of the way in time," the source added.
