Former WWE boss Vince McMahon was involved in a nasty car crash in Connecticut last week, according to multiple reports.
McMahon, 79, was traveling near Westport on Thursday morning when his 2024 Bentley slammed into a 2023 BMW 430 before hitting a median guardrail, TMZ reported.
A third vehicle, a Ford Fusion, driving in the other direction, was then struck by debris from the crash with McMahon.
Barbara Doran claimed a Facebook post that her BMW was struck by McMahon as she was on her way to catch the ferry to Martha’s Vineyard
The outlet reported that there were no major injuries in the wreck but McMahon was cited for reckless driving — a misdemeanor.
Photos of the crash showed fairly extensive damage to the front of McMahon’s Bentley, which reportedly had its airbag deployed in the incident.
The crash came on the same day that wrestling legend Hulk Hogan died at 71.
Hours after the reported crash, McMahon took to social media to mourn the loss of Hogan.
“The world lost a treasure today,” wrote McMahon. “Hulk Hogan was the greatest WWE Superstar of ALL TIME, someone who was loved and admired around the world. He was a trailblazer, the first performer who transitioned from being a wrestling star into a global phenomenon.
“His grit and unbridled thirst for success were unparalleled — and made him the consummate performer. He gave everything he had to the audience whom he appreciated, respected and loved.
“He leaves us with one of his favorite expressions, ‘Train, take your vitamins and say your prayers.’ Today, we pray for him.”
TMZ reported that McMahon is slated to appear in court in August.
