David Beckham `driving recklessly` before car crash

David Beckham was allegedly 'driving recklessly' and 'speeding really bad' before a multiple car pile-up in Los Angeles last month, according to emergency telephone calls.

The football star and 12-year-old son Brooklyn escaped injury when his car rear-ended another on one of the city's busiest freeways.

Now 911 calls made by other drivers to report the accident suggest that Beckham - who was driving his luxury black Cadillac Escalade SUV - was going fast enough to attract their attention.

One female caller, who said she was behind Beckham for miles, told the operator: 'I just want to let you know that the guy with the SUV was speeding all the way from LAX [Los Angeles Airport]. He was speeding really bad from LAX. I let him pass by and he was just driving so recklessly.'

A male caller claimed that Beckham's vehicle was 'definitely speeding' and 'tailgating' another car. He added: 'It pulled out of the car pool lane and pulled back in, kind of breaking a couple of traffic laws. He was definitely speeding and cutting in and out of the yellow lines.'

Police were at the scene but Beckham was not arrested nor questioned.

A spokesman for Beckham told celebrity website TMZ.com, who originally obtained the 911 calls: 'As unfortunate as accidents are, David was not cited by the police at the scene for any violations.'
