Former England and Arsenal footballer Raheem Sterling has been arrested on suspicion of drug driving after crashing his Lamborghini.

The winger, currently at Dutch side Feyenoord, was pulled over by police in Hampshire at around 9am on Thursday.

He was arrested on suspicion of drug driving, possession of a Class C drug and failing to provide a specimen after a reported collision with motorway barriers.

Sterling has since been bailed pending further inquiries.

The 31-year-old played for Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal in the Premier League.

He was released by Chelsea in January before making the move to the Netherlands.

A spokesperson for Hampshire Police: “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.”
