New Inter Miami signing Lionel Messi was involved in a frightening incident in a car that ran a red light in his new home town, heading straight into moving traffic.
Messi was being escorted by Fort Lauderdale police on Friday, but his car went straight into an intersection. The car was extremely lucky not to be involved in a horror crash, as other drivers were thankfully alert during the incident.
Messi has been getting more accustomed to the Miami area since landing in the United States, and it’s likely he and his entourage will pay more attention to the traffic lights in the future. On Thursday, he was seen with his children at a Publix grocery store in South Beach with a variety of goods in the cart.
Lucky Charms cereal were spotted as Messi began joking with his children in the store, with his son already wearing a Hard Rock Cafe t-shirt. Messi had a sandwich named after him at the world-famous restaurant – the intriguingly-named “Made For You by Leo Messi” meal.
The vehicle then turned left as intended and police continued to follow, and other drivers then continued on with their journey. It is not known if Messi was driving, but the 36-year-old was known to be in the car and the incident was caught on camera by Argentinian TV channel TyC Sports.
It was almost a disastrous start to Messi’s career in Miami, with the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner still not technically signed. Miami is scheduled to unveil Messi on Sunday, with the player reportedly set to make his debut on July 21 against Cruz Azul in The Leagues Cup.
Messi was in great spirits throughout the store visit, and other than the odd photo he wasn’t bothered by any fans. It must have been a strange experience for Messi, as he walked the aisle of the shop and even strolled to the car park without any fuss being made.
The Argentine is familiar with Miami, visiting on holiday with his family for some time. But now it’s his home after leaving Paris Saint Germain at the end of last season, when his contract expired.
