Brazilian daredevil finally collared
But not as you'd expect
YOUTUBE'S 'daredevil' lane-splitting sensation Kleber Atalla has been charged with killing a pedestrian - in his car.
The irony will not be lost on those who have seen the outrageous videos of Atalla 'filtering' through the streets of his native Sao Paolo, Brazil.
