Fortunately, he left unhurt though his pricey vechile was severely damaged. Ronaldo who was confirmed by his club in the accident later did not drive under influence and the police is investigating the cause.
The accident happened on the A538 Altrincham Road, between Wilmslow and Hale, Cheshire, at about 1020 GMT [January 8].
The footballer’s red Ferrari was badly damaged in the crash, with the front edge of the vehicle completely demolished.
One of the wheels came off, ending up about 200 yards behind where the vehicle came to rest.
‘Obviously shaken’
Onlooker Jody Lomax was driving behind Ronaldo when the crash happened.
“The Ferrari went straight into the wall, his front left-hand wheel came off and then Ronaldo got out of the car,” he said.
“I was shocked. Anyway he was all right, he was walking – he was a bit shaken.”
Mr Lomax added: “Obviously I was stunned at seeing a Ferrari go in the wall and seeing Ronaldo.
“He was obviously shaken – who wouldn’t be? – but it’s a shame about the car as well.”
Manchester United confirmed that Ronaldo was not hurt.
A club spokesman said: “He was involved in an incident this morning. No other cars were involved.
“He’s fine and is training as normal with the team this morning.”
Police said the Portuguese international gave a negative breath test to officers at the scene. [BBC 'Lucky' Ronaldo in Ferrari smash]

Ziyi Zhang & Fiance Vivi Nevo
While beach photos of Zhang Ziyi and boyfriend Vivi Nevo on St. Barts island (photos) of Carribean did not make any waves from Western audience, they did have cause a fuss among Chinese viewers. Zhang Ziyi’s so-called sexy photo gate brought somewhat an embarrassment to Chinese authorities. Because on the day the government asked a list of websites (including Google, Baidu, Sina.com, and sohu.com etc.) to stop “disseminating” indecent and obsence pictures, Zhang’s compromising beach sunbathing pictures stormed vast numbers of Chinese sites, sparking a lot to tout Zhang as b*tch while others either supporting or simply taking a light heart at her. After reading quite some reports on Chinese mainstream media, to my very own point of view, Zhang Ziyi is gaining from this of very “unexpected” publicity stunt. Those reports portraited Zhang as a victim of invasion of privacy. They emphasized paparazzi of “trepassing” Vivi Nevo’s “private beach” and cited experts’ views which suggested Zhang to take legal action against photo agency that photographed her and those posted Zhang’s risque pics. Such circumstances would probably make Zhang accepted by more on the Chinese mainland, as a result, Zhang Ziyi’s ambadorship for those cosmetic products and charity organizations will not be affected.

It seems Sex and The City actress Sarah Jessica Parker and husband Matthew Broderick’s marriage has hit rocks. The couple of 11 years is going to split, according to the tabloid reports.
Star magazine is reporting that Sarah Jessica Parker has decided to “bring down the curtain on her marriage” with Matthew Broderick and is already considering moving out of her house in New York where she shares with her husband who was caught having an affair with a 25-year-old woman last summer.
“The time has come when she realizes it just isn’t worth it. Sarah Jessica is determined to get her own place and bring down the curtain on her marriage.” a source told to the mag.
“Sarah’s not stupid. She knows exactly what’s going on. For a while it was easier for her to stay than go through a harsh divorce. They’re essentially living separate lives.” continued another spy.
Poor! Little James Wilkie Broderick can not save his parent’s marriage liao.
