Aug 31, 2015 EVERTON star Darron Gibson will appear in a British court accused of crashing his sports car into a cyclist while drink-driving. GIBSON, 27, is alleged to have been behind the wheel of his black Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo car when it hit the bike before driving away on the evening of August 16. Irishman Gibson is alleged to have then pulled into a petrol station nearby and crashing into a petrol pump. Police were called and charged the Premier League footballer with driving without due care and attention, driving with excess alcohol and failing to stop after a road traffic collision, near his home in Altrincham, Cheshire. Gibson, a Republic of Ireland international who plays in midfield, began his career at Manchester United before joining Everton for around STG1 million ($A2.16 million) in 2012, but his career has been ravaged by injuries. He is currently out of action due to a groin injury. Gibson will appear at Trafford Magistrates' Court later on Tuesday.
