Sterling admits dangerous driving on motorway before crash
The former England winger crashed a Lamborghini into motorway barriers in May.
Raheem Sterling, the former England footballer, admitted to dangerous driving and drug possession after crashing a Lamborghini into a metal gate near the M3 motorway in Hampshire on May 28. The 31-year-old appeared at Basingstoke Magistrates Court, having pleaded guilty to the charges. He was in the passenger seat of the car, with six nitrous oxide canisters on his lap at the time of the incident.
Witnesses reported seeing the driver of the Lamborghini inhaling from a white balloon, causing the airbag to inflate; they described the driver's driving as "absolutely horrendous." Sterling was arrested and tested, but his blood sample was not taken as he refused consent. He is currently without a club and has been disqualified from driving in the meantime.
