The court heard specific details regarding the night of the incident, which took place just hours before Grealish was due to feature in a high-profile Premier League fixture. Kevin Scott, the safer roads unit manager for Merseyside Police, provided a witness statement detailing that the £210,000 sky blue Lamborghini was spotted on Leeds Street and Vauxhall Road on the outskirts of Liverpool city centre.
"At 11.36pm on September 12 2025, a Lamborghini motor vehicle… was travelling along Leeds Street/Vauxhall Road, Liverpool, Merseyside, when it passed the traffic signal 1.4 seconds after it had changed to red," Scott stated in written evidence.
The infraction occurred on the eve of Everton’s home clash against Aston Villa, Grealish’s former club. The midfielder played in that match the following day, which ended in a goalless 0-0 draw. Following the incident, police sent a Notice of Intended Prosecution to an address in Manchester, asking the registered keeper to identify the driver. When no response was received, a second letter was dispatched to a £5.6 million property in Cheshire in November. Grealish failed to comply with these requests, leading to the prosecution.
