Jack Grealish is due to appear in court for the three other driving offences committed by him in March. Notably, the 25-year-old was arrested and charged after crashing his £80,000 Range Rover following a 4 am party in March. During the incident, Grealish was accused of reversing his 4x4 vehicle from a designated parking bay and slamming it into a parked silver Citroen van.

While the van was left with a dented bumper and smashed rear lights, a £30,000 silver C-class Mercedes and a £20,000 blue Mercedes sustained damage as well due to Grealish’s mistake. Several pictures of Grealish standing at the scene of the incident then went viral, in which the midfielder can be seen standing next to his vehicle in a blue hoodie. The Aston Villa star was charged with three offences as a result, and will now appear in court for the three offences along with the one from last month on Tuesday.
