Sterling charged with dangerous driving and possessing nitrous oxide
Published 18 minutes ago
Raheem Sterling will appear in court next month to face charges related to a car crash on the M3 in Hampshire in May.
Sterling, 31, was arrested and released on bail pending further enquiries. He is accused of:
- Dangerous driving
- Possessing nitrous oxide for wrongful inhalation
- Failing to provide a specimen
A spokesperson from Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary stated:
"A driver will appear in court next month to face charges following a collision on the M3... on 28 May, 2026. No other vehicles were involved and no injuries were reported."
The charges do not include suspicion of "driving a vehicle whilst unfit through drugs," as initially suspected by police. A source close to Sterling claimed there was "no proof" of drug use in his system.
Sterling, without a club since leaving Feyenoord at the end of last season, has faced a turbulent few years, including being exiled from Chelsea's first-team squad.
He has represented England 82 times and played for clubs including Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, and most recently, Feyenoord.
