The England captain was in London ahead of his side's 2-2 Champions League quarter-final first leg against Arsenal.

Kane, 30, played and scored in Tuesday night's game — the day after the crash.

Bild published images of an accident between three cars, including a van carrying his children and bodyguard.

Three of Kane's children - Louis three, Vivienne, five, and Ivy, seven - were travelling in the Mercedes and were taken to hospital as a precaution.

And a British nanny was praised for saving footie star Kane's children.

A young driver in a Renault cut across their people carrier to turn into a junction — crunching into its front and sending both ­vehicles spinning towards an oncoming Land Rover Defender.

Despite its airbags being triggered, the nanny calmly brought the £100,000 Mercedes to a halt, steering clear of the out-of-control Renault and avoiding careering into the 4x4.

The quick-thinking nanny, 24, was said to be "left terrified".

A source told The Sun: "The Kane's nanny did an incredible job of protecting the children.

"None of this is her fault. She might be on German roads, but she had right-of-way.

"It was the German driver who cut across her path and smashed into her. She would only have had milliseconds to react.

"You can see from the pictures it was a serious smash, but the Kane children would have felt nothing other than a bang. She really has averted disaster."

Local fire chief Daniel Buck said the family's people carrier "had a lot of damage".

He added: "The good news was nobody had really strong injuries, more minor injuries typical for a car accident.

"Thank God nobody was really injured. It was really lucky for all."

The Renault driver, a 20-year-old woman, could be punished with a fine of as little as £150.

She could have been charged with "negligent assault" and, if anyone had been injured, faced up to three years behind bars.

Kane's wife Katie, 31, and their ­youngest child Henry, seven months, were not in the car.
