marcl_19 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 MANCHESTER, England - Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo escaped injury Thursday after crashing his sports car on the way to training. The Portugal winger's Ferrari hit a roadside barrier in a two-lane tunnel near Manchester Airport at 10:20 a.m. local time, writing off the vehicle, police said. At the scene, the 23-year-old European player of the year gave a negative breath test to officers, who said inquiries are ongoing to determine the cause of the crash. "He's fine and is training as normal with the team this morning," Manchester United said. Photographs showed the front of the red car completely crushed after absorbing the impact of the crash. Metal debris, including the front left wheel, was scattered across the road. No other vehicles were involved, although United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar was travelling behind Ronaldo in a Bentley at the time. "The Ferrari went straight into the wall, his front left hand wheel came off and then Ronaldo got out of the car," witness Jody Lomax told the BBC. "He was all right, he was walking - he was a bit shaken." Ronaldo came off the bench Wednesday night in a 1-0 loss at Derby County in the first leg of the Carling Cup semifinals.

He gets into a bad car accident but he seems to get out fine with no injuries and gets to practice the next day, YET on the field, if you look in his direction he falls to the ground as if he were shot.

bingham Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Well as you know he never could take corners properly.......apparently the car behind lightly touched the rear bumber of Ronaldo's car which then flipped over 10 times as though it had been hit by a freight train...as he fell out of the car he rolled over in agony and seeing the attending cop stanading there rolling his eyes, Ronaldo stood up brushed himself off and winked at the cop. No sympathy on here then?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
