Former England national football team player Rahim Sterling (32) was arrested by police after crashing his Lamborghini while driving recklessly under the influence of 'laughing gas'.

The UK's 'The Sun' reported on the 15th (local time) that Sterling was arrested with a gas canister and deflated balloons placed in the passenger seat of his vehicle.

According to released police bodycam footage, Sterling hid items from his knees behind the seats upon the officer's instruction to exit the vehicle. When asked who was driving at the time of the accident, he exercised his right to remain silent; after confirming his identity, the police informed him of his Miranda rights and arrested him on the spot.

Dashcam footage captured before his arrest showed Sterling's dangerous stunt driving in full detail. He swerved across lanes on a busy highway, obstructing other vehicles, before crashing into the central median. Ultimately, while driving a Lamborghini worth 270,000 pounds (approximately 50 million won), he caused a rear-end collision and now faces the risk of a maximum two-year prison sentence.

Sterling admitted to all charges of reckless driving, possession of laughing gas, and refusal to submit to testing at the Basingstoke Magistrates' Court.

Sterling's bizarre behavior was detected eight hours before his arrest. Starting from a McDonald's in Hayes early that morning, witnesses saw him running with a gas canister in hand and balloons in his mouth on the highway near Watford during his morning commute. As he repeatedly accelerated and braked sharply without using turn signals, citizens filed numerous reports.

Six 670-gram nitrous oxide gas canisters were found in the vehicle at the time of arrest, and he confessed to his staff at the detention center about his gas poisoning. Nitrous oxide was designated as an illegal controlled substance in the UK in 2023; while it provides a brief sense of euphoria, it can cause heart attacks and brain damage.

Sterling joined Liverpool at age 15 and flourished at Manchester City, establishing himself as a star representing England. However, after moving to Chelsea in 2022, he fell into severe slump and his mental health deteriorated. After being told by manager Enzo Maresca that he was no longer part of the team's plans, he moved through Arsenal and Feyenoord but ultimately failed to revive his career and is currently a free agent. According to close associates, he feels deep despair as he is treated as if his playing days are effectively over.

Currently, Sterling has cut off all public activities and occasionally shares updates via social media (SNS) about spending time with his family.
