Raheem Sterling pleads guilty to dangerous driving and possession of nitrous oxide
On Tuesday, former England footballer Raheem Sterling pleaded guilty at Basingstoke Magistrates' Court to driving a Lamborghini Urus dangerously on the M25, M3, A327, and Minley Road before crashing on May 28.
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary reported a single-vehicle collision on the M3 southbound near the Minley Interchange on May 28; no other vehicles were involved and no injuries were reported.
The 31-year-old also admitted possessing six canisters of nitrous oxide, a Class C drug, for wrongful inhalation and failing to provide a specimen for analysis.
Sterling earned 82 caps for England and scored 20 goals, representing a distinguished international career with major clubs including Liverpool and Manchester City before his recent stint in the Netherlands.
Currently without a club, the forward made eight appearances for Dutch Eredivisie side Feyenoord after leaving the Premier League in January and faces sentencing following his guilty pleas.
