England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford faced legal troubles after nearly causing a crash while driving his £200,000 Lamborghini supercar. The incident occurred in Knutsford, Cheshire, on 14 April and has led to a criminal prosecution for driving without due care or attention.

During the court session, it was revealed that Pickford, 32, ignored a give way sign, forcing two other vehicles to slam on their brakes to avoid a collision. After the near-miss, he sped off from the scene, prompting police intervention.

Key details from the incident include:

• Date: 14 April
• Location: Knutsford, Cheshire
• Vehicle: Blue Lamborghini Urus with personalized plates
• Police Officer: PC Cecil Ricardo from Cheshire Police

PC Ricardo reported that he had just left the station when he observed Pickford's vehicle. He noted, "I was stationary on Bexton Road, Knutsford, waiting for traffic signals to turn green. I then witnessed a blue Lamborghini Urus driving along Princess Street. It reached the junction with Toft Road, completely ignored the give way lines and pulled onto Toft Road causing two vehicles to slam on their brakes to avoid a collision. The Lamborghini then sped down Toft Road, Knutsford."

Pickford, who has made 336 appearances for Everton and earned 92 caps for England, has pleaded guilty to the charge. He is scheduled to appear next at Chester Magistrates' Court on 7 December.
