Footballer Cristiano Ronaldo wrote off his red Ferrari 599GTB today after colliding with a barrier on his way to training with the Manchester United team.
The front of the £200,000 599 GTB model was crumpled in the smash and one of its wheels lay 200 yards behind the battered vehicle in a tunnel near Manchester airport this morning.

A witness said the Portugal international walked away from the wreckage with no sign of injury. “It is amazing he got out of it without a scratch,” said the man who asked not to be named.

Another driver in the tunnel suggested that Ronaldo’s footwork may have deserted him as his supercar’s engine roared.

No other vehicle was involved although the United goalkeeper, Edwin van der Sar, was travelling behind Ronaldo in a Bentley at the time. The players were driving to the Carrington training ground from their homes in Chester.

Ronaldo passed a breathalyser test at the scene after speaking to police officers but he faces a further interview by police investigating the accident.

As well as the Ferrari, he is thought to also own several Porsches, a BMW and a Rolls Royce Phantom.
