Former Premier League star Michail Antonio has been clocked speeding in his £200,000 Lamborghini merely three months after nearly losing his life in a horror car crash.
The former West Ham forward was recorded exceeding the speed limit in Birmingham.
The luxury vehicle was captured by a speed camera in March 2025, travelling at 50mph in a 40mph zone.
This incident occurred just weeks after Antonio had been hospitalised following a horrific crash in December 2024, when his Ferrari collided with a tree.

The ex-Premier League striker, who now represents Qatari outfit Al-Sailiya, was initially charged with both the speeding offence and failing to provide information about who was behind the wheel.
The footballer did not appear at Birmingham Magistrates' Court, where he had been scheduled to stand trial.
Magistrates found Antonio guilty in his absence of failing to disclose who was driving the vehicle when it was caught on camera.
Prosecutors chose not to pursue the speeding charge itself.
