David Beckham in Los Angeles Freeway Accident

By PopEater Staff Posted May 7th 2011 04:03PM

Exactly one week after his stylish black-tie appearance (along with wife Victoria) at Prince William's wedding in London, soccer superstar David Beckham was involved in a collision on the freeway in Southern California, People.com reports.

According to the California Highway Patrol, the accident was minor, and occurred near Torrance, Calif., on Friday.

"Mr. Beckham's black Cadillac SUV collided with the rear of a gold Mitsubishi in the carpool lane," confirms a California Highway Patrol spokesperson, Jennifer Connolly.

The Mitsubishi's driver experienced minor neck pain, and was taken to a hospital for treatment. Beckham, 36, was uninjured.

The gold car struck by Beckham's vehicle had reportedly broken down in the carpool lane of the busy 405 freeway when the collision occurred.

Beckham's son Brooklyn, 12, was in his dad's Cadillac at the time, according to TMZ sources, but was unhurt.

Following too close/driving too fast/texting, etc.

By MnMacca

For the very same reasons that stupid "regular" people get into accidents...And I am sure you are one of them..!!

Real Men would not discuss private matters.

The city is spelled T-O-R-R-A-N-C-E

LMAO!Good old Pop Eater reporters can't even spell.

By Bill

They either fixed the spelling later or it was spelled the way you did from the beginning.

WOW way to go PopEater...you corrected the spelling of Torrance from Torrence. Thank you for listening.

By karen

Obviously you've never driven in the fast moving car pool lanes of LA, and a car breaks down? Thank God, there were only minor injuries!

By Robb

This is the most press that Beckham will get all week in the U.S.

By BBB

Most likely, the most press he will ever get!! They call him a superstar, but he hasn't done anything but take money from soccer. The guy is worthless!!!!!!!!!!!!! Breaks a nail and is out half the season. Grow up Beckham!!!!!!!!!!!

By Mitchums

You guys must be joking!!! Those of us who live in LA know that a car breaking down in the carpool lane can be simply deadly!

...and some are speaking like true soccer illiterates! Ever heard of a movie named after him "Bend it Like Beckham"? In the world of soccer, you don't have to like him, but his skills are unquestionable! That's why he's still in demand at 36.

Mitchums, he has to get into a car accident to get his name in the press. What does that tell you about soccer and interest in the U.S.?

OMG. So what people get into minor car accidents everyday. Why does the media report everytime a celebrity burps. This is why these stars think they are God like and expects us to worship them, "NOT"
Report when they do something good for mankind.
