Angelina Jolie has been involved in a ''pretty bad'' car crash.

The 39-year-old actress was being chauffeured in a black SUV on Sunday evening (30.11.14) when the driver lost control and the motor slid on a wet road and smashed into a kerb causing two of the tyres to burst.

An eyewitness told website X17 Online: ''The car slammed into the kerb at a significant speed. Angelina must have wondered if they hit another car.

''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.''

The incident occurred as Angelina was being driven in Los Angeles following a screening of her movie 'Unbroken' at the Writers' Guild Theater in Beverly Hills, but she is thought to have escaped serious injury as she was later seen being picked up by a driver from the same car service.

Angelina - who has children Maddox, 13, Pax, 10, Zahara, nine, Shiloh, eight, and six-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne with husband Brad Pitt - is not the only star to have been involved in a car crash over the weekend as David Beckham also suffered a similar fate.

The former footballer and his eldest son Brooklyn were said to have had a lucky escape after a woman smashed into their motor after David picked the 15 year old up from football training at Arsenal's training ground in north London.
