Former WWE CEO and wrestling tycoon Vince McMahon was in a severe three-car accident in Connecticut last Thursday, July 24. The 79-year-old allegedly rear-ended a 2023 BMW 430 with his 2024 Bentley on Route 15 in Westport.
As per a crash report picked up by a news publication and a later Facebook message posted by the BMW driver Barbara Doran, Vince’s vehicle then collided with a median guardrail. Crash debris lodged in a third car a Ford Fusion headed in the opposite direction. There were no severe injuries but pictures of the scene depict heavy damage to the Bentley with both front wheels torn off and airbags inflating.
Barbara said a state trooper, who was not marked, was tailgating Vince while he was speeding when the accident happened. She said she was “lucky to have lived” and that Vince’s vehicle struck her at 80-90 mph.
Vince received a misdemeanor citation for reckless driving and following too closely and causing an accident. He is due to appear in court next month.
The incident took place on the same day as Vince honoured wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, who died at 71. The previous CEO took to X to refer to Hogan as “the greatest WWE Superstar of ALL TIME” and a pioneer.
This new development is part of a string of controversies for Vince, who stepped down as an executive at WWE’s parent company TKO Group Holdings earlier this year due to a lawsuit accusing him of sexual misconduct and trafficking.
