ARCHIVED - An employee of Cristiano Ronaldo crashes his 2M-euro Bugatti into a Mallorca house
The Manchester United football star is currently on holiday in Spain with his family
A stunning Bugatti Veyron owned by Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo and reportedly worth two million euros has been totalled in Mallorca by one of the footballer’s employees. According to official reports, the man was driving the supercar with a friend along Calle Alzina in the Urbanisation of Sa Coma at around 11 am on Monday morning, June 20, when he lost control of the 1,200 horsepower vehicle and ploughed into a shed.
The former Real Madrid soccer player has been holidaying in Mallorca with his girlfriend, Georgina Rodriguez, and their five children since June 14 but they were not present when the accident occurred.

The two-seater sports car rammed straight into a shed containing butane cylinders at the entrance to a country house and although the building was completely destroyed and the car wrecked, miraculously both the driver and passenger walked away unharmed.
Members of the Bunyola Local Police and the Guardia Civil attended the scene and have opened an investigation into the accident but since the building itself wasn’t worth much and nobody was injured, the situation has been settled amicably between the insurance companies.
The footballer’s girlfriend, who is a model and dancer, took to Instagram earlier this week to share photos of the family’s holiday in Spain, captioning the snaps with “A magical and special day #family #love.”
