LOS ANGELES: Actor Angelina Jolie reportedly got into a car accident after a screening of her new movie, Unbroken.

The 39-year-old was returning home when her car skidded on the road due to the rain and hit a curb. As a result of the impact, two of the vehicle's tires exploded.

According to X17online.com, the accident was bad but could have been much worse.

Quoting an eyewitness, the website reported: "The car slammed into the curb at a significant speed. Jolie 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."

The actor had been travelling in a hired car and was picked up by another car from the same service shortly after the car accident.

Directed and produced by Angelina Jolie, Unbroken chronicles the life of Louis Zamperini, a former Olympic runner who spent 47 days afloat in the Pacific Ocean after his military plane crashed and was later captured by Japanese forces during World War II and spent two years as a prisoner of war.

The actor looked radiant at the screening at the Writers Guild Theater donning an all-white ensemble and a Louis Vuitton purse.

It is unknown whether the actor suffered any injuries.
