Angelina Jolie escapes car crash after Unbroken screening

Angelina Jolie has had a lucky escape after the car she was a passenger in was involved in a crash.

The 39-year-old actress and director was on her way home from an Unbroken screening at the Writers’ Guild Theater in Beverly Hills when her driver lost control of the black SUV they were travelling in.

Horrified onlookers told website X17 that the car was driving at a high speed on a wet road when it smashed into the curb causing two of its tyres to burst.

“It was pretty bad – the tyre exploded and it’s amazing nothing worse happened to the car. I wouldn’t be surprised if she has whiplash,” an eyewitness said.

Thankfully, the mother-of-six wasn’t injured.

It turns out the brunette beauty isn’t the only celebrity to have been involved in a near-devastating car accident in recent days.

Former footballer and heartthrob David Beckham, 39, and his 15-year-oldson Brooklyn were left shaken after a woman crashed into their car in North London over the weekend.

The handsome duo were on their way home from training with the Arsenal football club, when the incident occurred outside the team’s training ground in Hertfordshire. Fortunately, both were unharmed though Brooklyn reportedly suffered a minor shoulder injury.

Meanwhile, 69-year-old singer Rod Stewart managed to escape a death-defying smash with just a broken finger after he was involved in a head-on collision on his way to a show.
