David Beckham and son involved in car accident

Soccer star David Beckham was involved in a car accident last Friday morning (May 6) on Highway 405 in California, reports Us magazine.

Beckham, 36, was driving with his 12-year-old son Brooklyn, when he rear-ended a stalled vehicle in the carpool lane near Torrence, California, law enforcement officials told TMZ.

Although Beckham and his son were not injured, the other driver, who was wearing a seatbelt at the time, was taken to hospital for medical attention.

Fortunately, Victoria Beckham, who is pregnant with the couple’s fourth child, was not in the car at the time.

Last week, the couple was listed as one of the richest in the world. They earned more than $30 million last year, thanks mainly to the success of Victoria’s fashion collection. She also recently signed a contract worth millions with British carmaker Range Rover.

The former Spice Girl is not the only one contributing to family income. David Beckham received more than $90 million over the past two years to play for the Los Angeles Galaxy soccer team, in addition to recently signing a contract worth millions as Samsung global brand ambassador for the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
