Raheem Sterling is charged with dangerous driving and possession offences after a motorway crash in late May, police say. Multiple outlets report he is also accused of possessing nitrous oxide for wrongful inhalation. The charges follow a single-vehicle collision.
Police say the crash involved a Lamborghini on the M3 southbound near the Minley interchange on 28 May. Most sources name the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary as the force responsible for announcing the charges. Differences across reports are mainly in how the charges are described: some outlets mention “laughing gas” explicitly, while others list only dangerous driving and nitrous oxide possession.
The Mirror, the Guardian, and the Punch add that Sterling is also accused of failing to provide a specimen, an allegation not always included in the shorter summaries. The Guardian and Mirror also note Sterling is due to appear in court next month, while other outlets focus on the charge details and police statement.
