Chelsea midfielder Danny Drinkwater has been charged with drink driving after pranging his Range Rover in the early hours of the morning.
The incident took place yesterday on Ashley Road in Mere, Cheshire.
A Cheshire Police statement said: "A 29-year-old from Nether Alderley has been charged with drink driving following an incident in Cheshire.
"Danny Drinkwater, of Bollington Lane, was arrested shortly after 12.30am on Monday, 8th April following a one-vehicle collision on Ashley Road in Mere.
"He has been released on unconditional bail and is set to appear at Stockport Magistrates' Court on Monday 13 May."
Despite the police mentioning a single vehicle collision, it would appear that a second vehicle was involved.
Emma Brown, 20, is said to have been driving a Skoda which was hit by Drinkwater's vehicle.
According to The Sun, Drinkwater and solicitor Beth Mantel were travelling together at the time of the collision. They had attended a chav-themed charity party in Manchester earlier in the evening.
The maximum penalty for drink driving is an unlimited fine and/or 6 month's imprisonment.
