Raheem Sterling Admits Dangerous Driving After M3 Lamborghini Crash

Former England international footballer Raheem Sterling has pleaded guilty to dangerous driving following a single-vehicle crash involving his Lamborghini on the M3 motorway in Hampshire.

Sterling, 31, appeared at Basingstoke Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday and admitted dangerous driving as well as charges relating to the possession of nitrous oxide and failing to provide a specimen.

Crash on M3

The incident happened on May 28, 2026, when Sterling’s Lamborghini Urus crashed on the southbound M3 near the Minley Interchange.

Police said no other vehicles were involved and no injuries were reported. Sterling was subsequently charged after the crash.

The dangerous-driving charge covered his driving on several roads, including the M25, M3, A327 and Minley Road, before the collision.

Nitrous Oxide Charges

Sterling also admitted possessing six nitrous oxide canisters. The substance is classified as a Class C drug in the UK when possessed for wrongful inhalation.

He additionally pleaded guilty to failing to provide a specimen.

The court heard allegations about his driving before the crash, with witnesses describing erratic manoeuvres and sudden changes in speed.

Football Career

Sterling has enjoyed a distinguished career with Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea, while also spending time on loan at Arsenal and later playing for Dutch club Feyenoord.

He made 82 appearances for England and won four Premier League titles with Manchester City. Sterling is currently without a club following the expiry of his Feyenoord contract.

The court proceedings are expected to determine the consequences of his guilty pleas.
