David Beckham is 'lucky to be alive' according to one witness after he crashed his car over the weekend.
Beckham and his oldest son Brooklyn were travelling from Arsenal's training ground when the accident occurred. Beckham's Audi and a Mitsubishi were involved in the accident.
David hurt his shoulder in the collision, but one onlooker says that the accident could have been much worse and all involved have been very lucky.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper, the source said: "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."
Beckham is believed to have been hugely apologetic after the crash and comforted the female driver and her daughter who were in the other car.
The source continued: "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."
Brooklyn was checked out at the hospital after the crash and was unhurt.
However, the former England captain recovered in time to escort wife Victoria to the Evening Standard Theatre Awards last night (30.11.14).
