Angelina Jolie was involved in a car crash on Sunday as she was leaving a Los Angeles screening of her new film "Unbroken."

The 39-year-old Oscar-winner was returning home in a black SUV from Beverly Hills when the vehicle slid on a wet road. The SUV then hit a curb, causing two of the tires to pop, according to X17 Online.

"The car slammed into the curb at a significant speed," a witness told the website. "Angelina must have wondered if they hit another car. It was pretty bad -- the tire exploded, and it's amazing nothing worse happened to the car. I wouldn't be surprised if she has whiplash."

Earlier in the evening, Angelina posed for pictures and signed autographs for fans outside the theatre where the showing took place.

There's currently no word yet on if Jolie suffered whiplash, though she did not seek medical attention after the incident. Her representatives have yet to release a comment to the media yet.

"Unbroken" has been called a "surefire" Best Picture nominee at the 2015 Oscars by Variety, as well as other publications.

The incident took place just after it was revealed David Beckham was involved in an accident in England.

Beckham, 39, had been at Arsenal's training facility at London Colney, Hertfordshire watching his son Brooklyn play against Brighton. After leaving the facility Beckham's Audi RS6 was involved in a collision with a silver Mitsubishi Colt Coupe Cabriolet.

The retired soccer player was treated for minor injuries to his shoulder, though his son was unharmed, according to the Daily Mail.
