#VinceMcMahon<\/a>, former chair of WWE, hit me going 80-90mph as I drove in the right lane of the narrow Merritt Highway (built in the 1930s). I and the dog are mostly fine, but was lucky to have kept control of the car, more or less, as I shot off the road after being catapulted over 100 yards.<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
An unmarked state trooper had been following him as he sped in and out of cars down the highway and had just turned his lights on to pull Mcmahon over, but he was not in time. Both front wheels of McMahon\u2019s Bentley were sheared off, and his airbags deployed, probably saving him from significant injury.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The trooper told me afterwards that McMahon saw me last minute and swerved, smashing into my left rear, but that if he had hit me full on, there might\u2019ve been a very different ending for me.<\/p>\n
Dolan noted that she is awaiting the results of medical tests.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Amazing that no other cars were hit, and that I got out of the car, hands shaking for a good twenty minutes, but otherwise seemingly unscathed (stiff neck later, etc., and full battery of hospital scans and bloodwork. Time will tell I am told.).<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Oddly, Hulk Hogan, who made McMahon\u2019s fame and fortune, died about the same time as the accident.<\/p>\n
The collision occurred at 9:22 a.m. on Thursday, July 24, on Route 15 North in Westport, CT.\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to a Connecticut State Police accident summary obtained by POST Wrestling, a 2024 Bentley Continental GT driven by McMahon collided with the rear of a 2023 BMW 430. The BMW was being driven by Dolan.<\/p>\n
After the initial impact, McMahon\u2019s vehicle then struck approximately 30 feet of the median\u2019s wooden beam guardrail.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Debris from the collision with the guardrail was flung into the southbound lanes, where it was struck by a 2020 Ford Fusion, which was being driven by a 27-year-old male.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Remarkably, the driver of the Ford Fusion has a name that matches with an online profile for a WWE digital content staffer based in Connecticut, and whose college start year is consistent with the birthdate on the incident report, assuming typical enrollment age.<\/p>\n
The official report notes that all three drivers were wearing seatbelts and that no injuries were evident. Airbags were deployed in both McMahon\u2019s Bentley and the BMW, but not the Ford. All three cars were towed from the scene.\u00a0<\/p>\n
State Police issued McMahon a misdemeanor summons for violating two Connecticut General Statutes: 14-222 (Reckless Driving) and 14-240(b) (Following Too Closely Resulting in an Accident).\u00a0He was released on a $500 non-surety bond and is scheduled to appear at Stamford Superior Court on August 26, 2025.<\/p>\n
The accident occurred just hours before the news of Hulk Hogan\u2019s death became public.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Vince McMahon’s Bentley Continental GT (Image Courtesy: Barbara Doran on Facebook) By Neal Flanagan and Brandon Thurston Story…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":33636,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[49,48,75,25468],"class_list":{"0":"post-33635","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-vince-mcmahon"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33635","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33635"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33635\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33636"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33635"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33635"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33635"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
