Raheem Sterling appeared at Basingstoke Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday afternoon to face three charges stemming from a single-vehicle collision on the M3 southbound near Minley interchange on 28 May. The 31-year-old former England international is charged with dangerous driving, possession of nitrous oxide for wrongful inhalation, and failing to provide a specimen.

Sterling, who is from Berkshire, arrived at court dressed in black trousers, black shoes, and a dark top. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary confirmed that no other vehicles were involved in the incident and that no injuries were reported.

The charges mark the first formal legal proceedings against Sterling, who built his Premier League career across spells at Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, and Arsenal. Tuesday’s hearing was his initial court appearance in connection with the May incident.
