Former England footballer Raheem Sterling is arrested on suspicion of drug-driving following an alleged crash involving his car. Multiple reports say police were called after Sterling allegedly crashed into motorway barriers. He is detained on suspicion of driving while unfit through drugs and related driving offences, including driving dangerously. Several outlets report details of allegations that include the possession of a class of drug and failing to provide a specimen for testing.
Sky News, as reported by other outlets, says the arrest took place while Sterling was driving a Lamborghini. The BBC similarly reports the arrest followed the alleged crash into motorway barriers. The Athletic reports that Sterling is released on bail while an investigation continues.
Other coverage references comments from sources close to Sterling, who say the strain associated with the abrupt end of his playing career has affected his wellbeing. No source provides a final determination of guilt; all describe allegations that are under investigation.
