LONDON. – England shot-stopper Jordan Pickford was pursued by police at 50mph after almost causing a pile-up in his Lamborghini.

The Everton keeper, 32, forced two drivers to slam on their brakes to avoid a crash, then sped off with a blue-light patrol car tailing him.

The incident happened at around 3pm on April 14 in Knutsford, Cheshire, which is close to Pickford’s home. Three Lions ace Jordan was at the wheel of his £165,000 Lamborghini Urus when he was pulled over just five days before he played in the Merseyside derby.

The incident on April 14 happened three days after Pickford played in David Moyes‘ side’s 2-2 draw away at Brentford and five days before their 2-1 loss in the Merseyside derby against Liverpool.

PC Cecil Ricardo was driving out of Knutsford police station when he spotted the blue 4×4, which had a personalised number plate spelling Pickford’s name.

In his written witness statement, the Cheshire Constabulary officer wrote: “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.

“I activated my emergency equipment, lights and sirens and attempted to catch up with the vehicle.” – The Sun
