Saturday, May 30, 2026 - Former England international Raheem Sterling has been arrested on suspicion of drug-driving following a crash involving his Lamborghini on the M3 in Hampshire, police have said.
Police were called at around 9am on Thursday, May 28, after
reports that a Lamborghini had collided with motorway barriers near the Minley
Interchange on the southbound carriageway. Officers stopped and arrested the
driver at the scene.
A source said: “Sterling, currently at Dutch side Feyenoord
was bailed pending enquiries. The former Premier League star was arrested after
crashing his Lamborghini into motorway barriers. The ex-England, Liverpool and
Manchester City winger had been travelling on the M3 on Thursday morning when
the collision occurred.”
Police said: “Just before 9am on Thursday, we received
reports that a Lamborghini was in collision with barriers on the M3 southbound,
close to the Minley Interchange. ‘No other vehicles were involved and no
injuries were reported.’”
“The driver, a 31-year-old man, from Berkshire, has been
arrested on suspicion of driving a vehicle whilst unfit through drugs, driving
dangerously, possession of a Class C drug and failing to provide a specimen. He
has been bailed while our enquiries continue.”
Sterling, who came through the ranks after being signed by
Liverpool from QPR’s academy in 2010, went on to become a key player at
Manchester City after his 2015 move, winning multiple domestic honours before
later spells at Chelsea, Arsenal and his move to Feyenoord as a free agent in
February. He has won 82 caps for England, scoring 20 goals, and is engaged to
Paige Milian, with whom he has two children.
A source close to him said: “He was a prolific English
international who has steered the England squad to significant heights over the
last decade and has been made to feel worthless and forgotten about in recent
years. The psychological strain that has put on him is immeasurable.”
