Legal peril looms for ex‑Feyenoord star after Lamborghini crash

Raheem Sterling, the 31‑year‑old English forward, must appear before Basingstoke magistrates on 15 September after crashing his €315,000 Lamborghini into the guardrail on the M3 in England near Minley on 28 May 2026, for dangerous driving, facing a possible two‑year prison term.

Legal fallout

The incident occurred on the M3 motorway near the Minley junction, travelling southbound, when Sterling’s Lamborghini, valued at €315,000, struck the safety barrier. No other vehicles were involved and no one was injured.

Police in Hampshire arrested the English attacker after he allegedly drove under the influence of drugs and refused a breath test. The spokesperson confirmed that Sterling, 31, from Berkshire, is charged with dangerous driving, possession of laughing‑gas for unlawful inhalation and refusal to submit to a breath test, according to several Engelse media outlets.

A hearing is set for 15 September at Basingstoke Crown Court, where he could face up to two years’ imprisonment, according to several Engelse media outlets including The Sun and .

Career after Feyenoord

Sterling joined Feyenoord in February and featured in eight Eredivisie matches, providing a single assist before departing the Kuip as a bench player.

The former England international earned 82 caps, enjoyed long spells as a starter at Liverpool and Manchester City, and also turned out for Arsenal and Chelsea before leaving the latter on a free transfer.

Since his contract with Feyenoord expired, he remains unattached, and Engelse media reported that he is dealing with mental health issues.
