Former Brazil and Barcelona superstar Ronaldinho probably hadn't bargained for this. The footballer was in Kozhikode to inaugurate the Sait Nagjee football tournament. And he narrowly escaped serious injury.

On Monday morning, after visiting a state-run school, Ronaldinho got into his car. As the vehicle was exiting the school, a rusted traffic light post fell in front of the car, missing it car by just a few feet.

The Brazilian's reaction was not known, but the video above shows the incident and also displays the immediate reaction of the screaming fans after the chilling incident took place.
