Raheem Sterling arrested on suspicion of drug driving after Lamborghini crash

Worrying development overnight

The 31-year-old former Liverpool, Man City and Chelsea man was released on bail, with police continuing their investigation into the incident.

Sterling is currently playing with Dutch side Feyenoord, and was bailed pending enquiries, according to The Sun.

The Lamborghini was reportedly crashed into motorway barriers on Thursday morning, with police pulling him over on the southbound carriageway in Hampshire at around 9am.

Police reports say he is suspected of driving a vehicle while unfit through drugs, driving dangerously, possession of a Class C drug, and failing to provide a specimen.

Class C drugs include tranquilisers such as valium, plus steroids, laughing gas and GHB.

Hampshire Police said last night: “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 was released by Chelsea in January, and reports in The Sun say sources close to the star state he has been struggling lately.
