Ronaldinho Escapes India Accident (VIDEO)

Ronaldinho is used to avoiding defenders with his silky skills on the football pitch but the Brazilian had something a whole lot trickier to swerve on Monday – a falling traffic light.

Legendary footballer Ronaldinho is currently in India and was on his way back from a school visit when a rusty traffic light crashed into the road just ahead of him.

Hundreds of locals gathered in Kerala watched the Brazilian narrowly avoid the disaster as he was driving through the streets.

Fortunately for Ronaldinho, the huge metal structure landed away from any danger and local police were able to lift it out of the path of his car.
