England and Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford has pleaded guilty to driving without due care or attention following an incident in Knutsford, Cheshire, on 14 April. [1]
According to court documents reported by the BBC, Cheshire Police officer PC Cecil Ricardo said Pickford’s Lamborghini Urus failed to give way at a junction with Toft Road, causing drivers of two other vehicles to brake to avoid a collision. His account describes a collision avoided, not a crash. [1]
Ricardo said he followed with his lights and siren on. He said the Lamborghini was still pulling away when his police car was travelling at 50mph on a stretch with a 30mph limit. The 50mph figure refers to the officer’s car, not a measured speed for Pickford’s. [1]
Pickford pleaded guilty in writing and asked to attend court to present mitigation. His case was adjourned last week, and he is due to appear at Chester Magistrates’ Court on 7 December. [1]
