A CAR containing Lionel Messi has narrowly avoided a crash after skipping a red light.
The Argentine superstar is in South Florida ahead of his Inter Miami unveiling later today.
Messi was spotted at a Publix supermarket alongside wife Antonela and the kids on Thursday evening.
Footage has since emerged of a car in which Messi was travelling running a red light onto a busy intersection.
The Audi motor was receiving a police escort at the time.
In the footage obtained by TyCSports, the car can be seen driving through a red light and left onto a crowded intersection.
