Raheem Sterling charged with dangerous driving and possession of nitrous oxide after crash
Police say the former England forward faces three charges after a single-vehicle motorway crash, with no injuries reported and a court hearing set for September 15.
- Raheem Sterling has been officially charged with dangerous driving, possession of nitrous oxide, and failing to provide a required sample following his Lamborghini crash earlier this year.
- Earlier this year, the 31-year-old forward crashed his Lamborghini, reportedly worth £270,000, into a crash barrier close to the Minley Interchange in Hampshire, England, with no injuries reported.
- Motorists alerted police after witnessing the Lamborghini swerving across the road; authorities arrested Sterling on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs and later released him on bail.
- The investigation has developed into a criminal case requiring Sterling to appear at Basingstoke Magistrates Court on September 15; under British law, dangerous driving conviction carries up to two years imprisonment.
- After his Chelsea contract expired in January 2026, Sterling joined Feyenoord in Rotterdam on loan but failed to impress, leaving him without a club since the summer.
