Former England captain David Beckham has been involved in a car accident after picking up his son Brooklyn from Arsenal's training ground on Saturday, according to reports.

Brooklyn, who plays for Arsenal's under-16 side after joining the club on a short-term contract in November, was in the car with his father following a game with Brighton at London Colney, but both escaped unharmed injured.

A source close to Beckham told the Daily Telegraph: "They were shaken. It was quite a heavy prang but thankfully everybody walked away uninjured. Everybody's fine."

Two players from Brighton's under-16s, Thomas Cadman and Archie Davies, tweeted about seeing the former Manchester United and Real Madrid star in the crash.
