Cristiano Ronaldo escaped unhurt on Thursday after his Ferrari hit a roadside barrier in a tunnel near Manchester airport.
“No one was injured in the collision,” Greater Manchester Police said in a statement, while reports say the Ballon d’Or winner was at training as usual after the crash.
From the damage done to the car, it looks like a lucky escape for the player, who came on as a sub in United’s defeat by Derby in the Carling Cup on Wednesday night.

- Posted by Ronaldo unhurt after car crash | Sports 40Cristiano Ronaldo, the much maligned Manchester United maestro, survived a tunnel crash today. He was not to be afforded the status of another Lady Di. There would be no immediate increase in flower sales among Manchester florists . But eyewitnesses are reporting a small Ford Cortina with a Scottish license plate was seen swerving in front of Ronaldo’s Ferrari immediately before the crash. The driver was described as an old man in a black wool coat. Police intercepted a mobile phone transmission from the Cortina shortly after the crash. They have just released the voice of a man with a slight Glaswegian lisp, saying, “Is that Ferrari for Real?” Manchester United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, relaxing on a freezing beach in Aberdeen, had no comment on Ronaldo’s unlucky escape.

- Posted by Red DevilI think the car’s just pretending it’s been damaged. There was probably no contact with the roadside barrier whatsoever and I bet it rolled over a few times as well for dramatic effect.
