Former Manchester United Star Gets Suspended 14-Month Prison Sentence After 99mph Car Crash

On May 23, 2025, at Chester Crown Court, ex-Manchester United left-back Brandon Williams was given a suspended prison sentence of 14 months following a high-speed car accident in Cheshire.
The sentence came after Williams admitted to reckless driving and operating a vehicle without valid insurance following a crash at 99mph on August 20, 2023, in a 70mph zone near Handforth.
Williams collided with the rear of a Ford Fiesta carrying one driver and two passengers, then hit the central reservation, causing injuries and extensive vehicle damage.
Judge Eric Lamb stated, "There was no justification for the way you were driving," and sentenced Williams to perform 180 hours of community service along with a three-year ban from driving.
Williams avoided jail and is currently training to return to football, expressing hope of earning a contract, despite his contract expiry and being without a club.
