Cristiano Ronaldo escapes unhurt in car crash

Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo escaped injury on Thursday after crashing his sports car on the way to training. The Portugal winger's Ferrari collided with a roadside barrier in a two-lane tunnel near Manchester Airport at 10:20 a.m. (1020 GMT), writing off the vehicle, police said.

At the scene, the 23-year-old European player of the year gave a negative breath test to officers, who said inquiries are ongoing to determine the cause of the crash.

"He's fine and is training as normal with the team this morning," Manchester United said.

Photographs showed the front of the red car completely crushed after absorbing the impact of the crash. Metal debris, including the front left wheel, was scattered across the road.

No other vehicles were involved, although United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar was traveling behind Ronaldo in a Bentley at the time.

"The Ferrari went straight into the wall, his front left hand wheel came off and then Ronaldo got out of the car," witness Jody Lomax told the BBC. "He was all right, he was walking _ he was a bit shaken."

Ronaldo came off the bench Wednesday night in a 1-0 loss at Derby County in the first leg of the League Cup semifinals.

It is red holiday for Abhisit

IT is 10pm on a Wednesday night in Bangkok. And there’s a picnic in front of the residence of General Prem Tinsulanonda, the 88 year-old chief adviser to the Thai king. A “picnic” if you disregard the phalanx of riot policemen standing guard along the concrete fence of Prem’s home, the red-shirted protesters shouting “ok pai Prem (Prem get out in Thai)” and a poster depicting Thaksin Shinawatra as Superman. Free food - fried noodles and bottled mineral water - is flowing. Most of the protesters are sitting picnic-style on the road listening to stinging speeches condemning Prem.
