Sterling charged with dangerous driving after crash
Raheem Sterling will appear in court next month to face charges of dangerous driving after crashing his car into motorway barriers in May.
Raheem Sterling, the 31-year-old former England winger, will face court charges of dangerous driving and possessing nitrous oxide for wrongful inhalation following a crash on the M3 motorway in Hampshire on May 28, 2026. The Lamborghini he was driving collided with barriers on the southbound M3 near the Minley Interchange, resulting in no injuries and no involvement of other vehicles.
Sterling, who was playing with Feyenoord at the time of the incident, was arrested and subsequently released on bail pending further inquiries. He is scheduled to appear at Basingstoke Magistrates' Court on September 15, 2026. Police suspected Sterling of driving while unfit through drug use, but this allegation was not included in the charges.
Sterling's arrest came after a single vehicle collision on the M3, and no proof of drugs in his system was found.
