Ex-Brazil Star Ronaldinho Narrowly Avoids Traffic Accident in India

Former Barcelona and Brazil star Ronaldinho narrowly avoided being struck by a falling traffic light in India, reports the Indo-Asian News Service.

The 35-year-old was on his way from a function in a state-run school in Kozhikode when a signal light collapsed in front of his vehicle.

"As soon as his car came out from the school, an old rusted traffic light post fell before his vehicle. Seeing it, he smiled and the car sped away, negotiating the fallen post," said CPI-M legislator A. Pradeep Kumar.

Ronaldinho is in India as the brand ambassador of the newly revived Sait Nagjee Football Tournament.
