Yaya Toure
is expected to give evidence
|
Manchester City star Yaya
Toure is set to go on trial accused of speeding at more than 120mph on a
motorway in a turbo-charged Porsche. The 32-year-old Côte d'Ivoire international is
expected to give evidence during a trial at Burton Magistrates' Court in
Staffordshire.
Press Association report continues:
Prosecutors
allege that Toure, who lives in Cheshire, was "clocked" driving at
123mph on the northbound M6 near Keele services on May 20 this year.
The
midfielder has previously pleaded guilty to driving at 101mph on the same
stretch of motorway but denies reaching the higher speed around six minutes
later.
Separate
charges of having no third party insurance and failing to produce an insurance certificate
were dropped at a previous hearing at Cannock Magistrates' Court.
Another witness called by
the defence and two police officers are also due to give evidence to this
afternoon's trial.
