Near Mess! New Inter Miami star Lionel Messi is lucky to avoid a serious crash after his Audi Q8 skips a red light while being escorted by Fort Lauderdale cops

Lionel Messi has gotten off to an interesting start in his first few days as a south Florida resident.

Messi, who is set to be revealed as an Inter Miami player, was getting a police escort in his new hometown when his vehicle went straight past a red light.

The Argentine’s car went into a busy intersection, where the car was lucky to not get hit by multiple cars that were driving through it.

This vehicle turned left as police continued to follow it. It’s not clear whether or not Messi was driving the vehicle, but he was known to be inside of it.

Argentinian TV channel TyC Sports captured the moment as it unfolded as hype around Messi’s arrival continues to grow.
