Raheem Sterling to appear in court over dangerous driving charges

Former England winger Raheem Sterling will face charges of dangerous driving, possession of nitrous oxide for wrongful inhalation, and failing to provide a specimen in court. The 31-year-old is scheduled to appear at Basingstoke Magistrates’ Court on September 15, 2026, following a single-vehicle collision on the M3 in Hampshire in May.

Sterling crashed his Lamborghini on the M3 southbound, close to the Minley Interchange, on May 28, with no other vehicles involved and no reported injuries. Police initially investigated the possibility that Sterling had been driving while unfit through drugs, but this allegation is no longer part of the charges against him. Sterling, who is currently without a club, most recently played for Dutch side Feyenoord after leaving Chelsea.
