According to police, the Lamborghini collided with motorway barriers, with no other vehicles involved in the crash. Authorities also confirmed that there were no reported injuries.
Sterling was subsequently arrested while officers began investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident.
In an official statement, Hampshire Police said:
"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."
The latest development adds to a difficult stretch in Sterling’s professional career. The former Manchester City winger previously enjoyed major success under Pep Guardiola, winning several Premier League titles during his time at the club.
Since departing City, however, Sterling has endured a decline in form and consistency. His spell at Chelsea proved difficult, while a loan move to Arsenal under Mikel Arteta failed to revive his fortunes.
Sterling later joined Feyenoord on a short-term agreement after his Chelsea contract was terminated in January. He featured only eight times in the Eredivisie and is expected to become a free agent this summer.
While Sterling has been released on bail, Hampshire Police have confirmed that investigations into the crash are still ongoing.
At the same time, the former England international faces uncertainty over his football future as he looks for his next club following several difficult seasons.
