A traffic light in Indian state of Kerala came crashing down on Monday, with Brazilian footballing superstar Ronaldinho narrowly escaping the mishap.
"As soon as his car came out of 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," Indian legislator, Pradeep Kumar told IANS.
"He is a shy person and language is a problem too. Even today morning at the school, he was just waving his hands and saying hi to all. He has been enjoying his trip here, as did all who came to have a glimpse of him," said Kumar.
Ronaldinho marks winning return to Brazil
Ronaldinho arrived in India as the brand ambassador of a football tournament being revived after a gap of 21 years.
While the tournament is set to begin on February 5, organisers managed to bring in the two-time World Player of the Year and the 2002 World Cup winner to ensure strong pre-event publicity.
The football wizard was capped 97 times by his country wherein he netted the ball 33 times. He has also featured for top clubs such as Paris St. Germain, Barcelona and AC Milan.
