Los Angeles: Former football star David Beckham has been injured in a car crash after he collected his eldest son Brooklyn from training.

The 39-year-old footballer is said to have been hurt after collecting Brooklyn from the Arsenal training ground, with a number of eye witnesses taking to social media to discuss the unfortunate incident, reported E! online.

Thomas Cadman, who played for Brighton under-16s against Brooklyn's side, said on Twitter, "Weird to play against Brooklyn Beckham earlier. Even weirder to be currently stuck behind David Beckham as he has crashed his car (sic)."
