Former WWE boss Vince McMahon was involved in a multi-car crash on Route 15 in Connecticut last Thursday, July 24.
Connecticut State Police said McMahon was driving one of three vehicles, a 2024 Bentley Continental GT Speed, involved in a crash near exit 41 in Westport.
The police report said McMahon was driving northbound on the parkway when he rear-ended a BMW and crashed into a wooden guardrail. A car traveling in the southbound lanes struck debris from the crash that flew over the guardrail, state police said.
There were no passengers in the cars, and all three drivers were wearing their seatbelts, police said. The airbags in McMahon’s car and the BMW deployed, and no one was injured.
Property records show that the address McMahon gave to state police is the former WWE headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut.
McMahon was issued a misdemeanor summons for reckless driving and following too closely, resulting in an accident.
He was released after posting a $500 bond and is scheduled to appear in Stamford Superior Court on Aug. 26.
McMahon stepped down as WWE’s CEO in 2022 amid a company investigation into sexual misconduct allegations. He also resigned as executive chairman of the board of directors of TKO Group Holdings, the parent company of WWE, last year, a day after a former WWE employee filed a sexual abuse lawsuit against him. McMahon has denied the allegations. The lawsuit remains pending.
McMahon bought what was then the World Wrestling Federation in 1982 and transformed it from a regional wrestling company into a worldwide phenomenon. Besides running the company with his wife, Linda, who is now the U.S. education secretary, he also performed at WWE events as himself.
