Former England international Raheem Sterling has been arrested on suspicion of drug driving, according to Sky News.

The 31-year-old, who joined Dutch club Feyenoord in February, is alleged to have crashed his Lamborghini while on the M3 on Thursday and was stopped by police at 9am.

Hampshire Police said in a statement: "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."
