David Beckham drove wildly before ploughing into the back of a car in an accident on a Los Angeles motorway earlier this month, according to witnesses.<\/p>\n

One motorist alleged the former England captain was speeding and \u2018driving recklessly\u2019.<\/p>\n

Another claimed that Beckham, 36, was \u2018definitely speeding\u2019 and cutting in and out of the car pool lane on one of California\u2019s busiest highways.<\/p>\n

\"'Driving<\/p>\n

‘Driving recklessly’: David Beckham and his son Brooklyn escaped uninjured after the multiple car collision earlier this month(file picture)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The former Manchester United and Real Madrid star, now playing for Los Angeles Galaxy, was with his 12-year-old son, Brooklyn.<\/p>\n

They were shaken but otherwise unhurt in the rush-hour collision.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Beckham was at the wheel of his top-of-the-range black Cadillac Escalade when it rear-ended a Mitsubishi that stalled in the fast lane on May 6.<\/p>\n

The incident happened soon after he arrived back from a trip to the UK to attend the royal wedding.<\/p>\n

The driver of the broken-down car was taken to hospital for treatment following the 9.13am accident on the 405 freeway near the town of Torrance.<\/p>\n

\"Beckham's<\/p>\n

Beckham’s SUV: David is frequently seen driving this customized Escalade, which is one of several cars that he owns<\/p>\n

Beckham has not yet been arrested or charged with any offence.<\/p>\n

But yesterday celebrity website TMZ posted recordings of two emergency calls claimed to be from motorists reporting the accident to the police.<\/p>\n

One woman, who was not identified, said \u2018the guy with the SUV was speeding really bad\u2019 from Los Angeles airport.<\/p>\n

She continued: \u2018I let him pass by and he was driving so recklessly. I should have put the lights on him so that he could stop.\u2019<\/p>\n

Another motorist claimed that a vehicle thought to be Beckham\u2019s Escalade was \u2018tail-gating\u2019 the car in front in the car pool lane, which is reserved for vehicles with at least two occupants.<\/p>\n

\"Where<\/p>\n

Where it happened: Torrance, a coastal community, is located south west of Los Angeles<\/p>\n

\u2018It pulled out of the car pool lane and pulled back in, kind of breaking a couple of traffic laws,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

\u2018I guess there was a car with its hazard lights on in the car pool lane that had stalled out or something and he rammed it in the butt.<\/p>\n

\u2018He was definitely speeding and cutting in and out of the double yellow lines prior to that. He was right in front of me,\u2019 he added during the 911 emergency call.<\/p>\n

A spokesman for the player said: \u2018As unfortunate as accidents are, David was not cited by the police at the scene for any violations.\u2019<\/p>\n
