Beyonce Almost Run Over By London Taxi

Talk about close encounters of the cab kind!

Beyonce Knowles narrowly escaped serious injury after her car door was ripped off by a taxi in the Knightsbridge area of London this week.

Gawking shoppers looked on in horror Wednesday afternoon as the singer began exiting her Mercedes in front the world-famous Harrods Department Store only to have a speeding cab collide with the car’s door, ripping it off its hinges and missing the “Halo” singer by mere inches.

“It was terrifying to watch. It all happened so quickly, the taxi came out of nowhere. She seemed very shaken and was lucky to be alive. A couple of seconds difference and God knows what could have happened,” says one terrified witness.
