Pop superstar Beyonce had a close call on Tuesday (July 6), when the door of her car was ripped off its hinges by a taxi.

Knowles, who is currently in the UK with her husband Jay-Z, had decided to go shopping at the luxury London department store Harrods but as she was about to exit her private car, a taxi sped past and knocked the door off. 

Onlookers watched in horror as the vehicle narrowly missed the singer.
