The 31-year-old, currently without a club following the termination of his Chelsea contract and a failed spell at Feyenoord, crashed his Lamborghini on the M3 back in May. Sterling also faces charges of possessing laughing gas and failing to provide a specimen following his arrest. Dangerous driving carries a maximum two-year prison sentence if found guilty.

A Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary spokesman said: “A driver will appear in court next month to face charges following a collision on the M3. ‘Raheem Sterling, 31, from Berkshire, has been charged for the following offences: dangerous driving, possession of nitrous oxide for wrongful inhalation, failing to provide a specimen. ‘The charges come following a single vehicle collision, involving a Lamborghini, on the M3 southbound, close to the Minley Interchange, on 28 May, 2026. The £270k Lamborghini veered across three lanes (Picture: Daily Mail) ‘No other vehicles were involved and no injuries were reported. ‘Mr Sterling is due to appear at Basingstoke magistrates court on 15 September.’ Dashcam footage of the incident, released in June, appeared to show Sterling pulling in front of another car without indicating before almost hitting the central reservation. A van is forced to brake suddenly to avoid crashing into the Lamborghini, which then veers between two lanes for several seconds. Sterling appeared to have a balloon in his hand during the clip. Several cars were forced to break to avoid a collision (Picture: Daily Mail) In 2021 he was allegedly caught inhaling laughing gas – sometimes known as ‘hippy crack’. Sterling’s brush with the law is the latest sad chapter in a career that has been in decline ever since he left Manchester City nearly four years ago After establishing himself as a key cog in Manchester City’s trophy winning machine under Pep Guardiola, the winger lost his way at Chelsea amid the chaos and upheaval at Stamford Bridge. A loan move to Arsenal last season, where it had been hoped he could rebuild his career working for Mikel Arteta, who had been a key part of the coaching team during the best period of Sterling’s career at City, turned into a disaster. Sterling managed just five Premier League starts during his time with the Gunners, scored just one goal in all competitions and failed to cement a place in a forward line that had been decimated by injuries.
