Miranda Kerr was reportedly involved in a serious car accident in Los Angeles on Monday and had to be rushed to hospital.

Kerr's spokeswoman Annie Kelly told reporters the Australian supermodel is wearing a neck brace and had MRI scans following the accident on Monday, when another car rammed hers on an LA freeway.

The driver of the other car has reportedly been arrested and is likely to face charges.

Kelly says Kerr was thankful her son, Flynn, was not in the car at the time.

"She is in a lot of pain but really, we are just glad that it was not more serious,'' she says.

The Victoria's Secret Angel was snapped on Tuesday night with her hair down and a scarf around her neck in a bid to conceal the neck brace.

Kerr is next due to return to Australia to unveil the new Qantas uniforms, designed by Melbourne-born, Paris-based designer Martin Grant.
