"McMahon hit me going 80-90mph as I drove in the right lane of the narrow Merritt Highway.
"I was as lucky to have kept control of the car, more or less, as I shot off the road after being catapulted over 100 yards.'
Hulk Hogan dead at 71 after suffering reported cardiac arrest
"McMahon saw me last minute and swerved, smashing into my left rear, but that if he had hit me full on, there might've been a very different ending for me.
"Oddly, Hulk Hogan, who made McMahon's fame and fortune, died about the same time as the accident."
Doran's BMW was left with a lot of damage on the front right side, as a wheel had been ripped off.
The collision was so powerful that debris from the collision flew into the other lane of the highway.
This caused damage to a third vehicle, a Ford, that was driving southbound.

It read: "The world lost a treasure today.
"Hulk Hogan was the greatest WWE Superstar of ALL TIME, someone who was loved and admired around the world

"He gave everything he had to the audience whom he appreciated, respected and loved."
McMahon will be appearing in court next month, having been issued a misdemeanour summons for reckless driving and following too closely.

Urgent hunt for naked man in a face mask after he's spotted prowling streets in ‘concerning' CCTV
AN URGENT search has been launched for a mystery man prowling the streets wearing nothing but a mask and trainers. Lancashire Police are on the hunt after CCTV captured the figure walking by houses in Lytham just before 1am on Friday, July 18. 6 The man was wearing nothing but a mask and trainers Credit: Facebook 6 He was seen on doorbell cameras Credit: Facebook A spokesperson for the force said: "We are aware of a concerning video circulating on social media of a naked male wearing a face covering walking around Lytham in the early hours of the morning. "This occurred in the area of Westby Street, Cleveland Road and Bannister Street. "We can confirm this incident occurred on the 18th July 2025 at approximately 00.50am. "This incident was not initially reported to police and has only been brought to our attention after it has been viewed on Facebook." Read More Fylde Rural Task Force have launched an investigation and officers are "taking this matter seriously", according to cops. This comes after cops found Bristol Magistrates' Court heard how he approached two women drivers on separate occasions in May 2022. Most read in The Sun He wore his black outfit and a horrifying mask made out of tights he'd purchased from Asda shortly before heading out in the pitch black. Hunt also used UV paint to draw on eyes and a mouth for his days of torment. During the first incident, a woman was driving down a country lane with her husband and two kids when they spotted the creepy figure crawling on the ground. Petrified, the couple convinced themselves it was just a bin bag - but reported it to the police online. The woman was left feeling "unnerved" and "does not want to travel around the lanes anymore", the court was told. Just over 24 hours later, another woman was driving along the road with her sister-in-law and teenage boy in the car. As she drove round the corner she was met with a figure dressed in all black. Horrified, the pair called the police, and officers later found Hunt in a white Citroen Berlingo van nearby. In a police interview, he provided a prepped statement - stating that his "mental health has deteriorated rapidly, and I am in crisis". He added: "I was attempting to kill myself, I didn't intend to scary anybody. I am crying out for help." The court heard that on a search of his home in Claverham, cops found a handwritten story about a man named Jack - who dressed up in black with a face mask. In the story it revealed 'Jack' "looked like something out of a horror film". Hunt admitted writing the story but said he was not acting it out. He later accepted that he was the "gimp" who was spotted - but denied any intent to cause alarm or distress. He claimed that he was wearing the outfit to go mudding, which he described as the act of covering himself in mud because he hated his body. But after a one day trial, he was found guilty of two offences under the Public Order Act of causing intentional harassment, alarm or distress after scaring female motorists in Somerset while dressed in a gimp suit. Accepting that he had spent one month in prison on remand for his crimes, Judge Dickens slapped him with a £100 fine and ordered him to pay £200 to his victims. 6 Lancashire Police have launched an investigation Credit: Facebook 6 Joshua Hunt was found to be the 'Somerset Gimp' Credit: SWNS 6 He was found guilty at Bristol Magistrates Court of two offences under the Public Order Act Credit: PA 6 He added smiling faces to his masks Credit: PA

Federal agency opens probe into former Trump prosecutor Jack Smith
A US federal agency has opened a formal investigation into former Special Counsel Jack Smith, who oversaw two criminal probes into President Donald Trump following his first term in the White House. The Office of Special Counsel confirmed that it was investigating whether Mr Smith violated the Hatch Act, a law prohibiting federal employees from using their position for political activity. The decision follows a request for a probe by the US Senator Tom Cotton, an Arkansas Republican. The OSC is an independent agency that probes the conduct of federal employees, but it does not have the authority to bring criminal charges. It is different from the type of Special Counsel's office previously overseen by Mr Smith, who was appointed by the Department of Justice to pursue criminal cases. The OSC's investigation, which was first reported by the New York Post, is the latest in a series of actions taken by Trump and his allies against their perceived political enemies. Mr Smith, who resigned from his post in January following Mr Trump's election victory, could not immediately be reached for comment. Earlier this week, Mr Cotton accused Mr Smith of aggressively pursuing his cases against Mr Trump with the aim of hurting his presidential campaign, calling Mr Smith "a political actor masquerading as a public official" in a series of posts on X. "That's why I've asked this unprecedented interference in the 2024 election be immediately investigated by OSC," Mr Cotton wrote on X. A former war crimes prosecutor, Mr Smith brought two criminal cases against the US president: one accusing him of illegally retaining classified material and another related to Mr Trump's attempts to overturn his 2020 election loss, an effort that sparked the 6 January 2021, assault on the US Capitol. Neither case went to trial, having been delayed and buffeted by a series of legal challenges, including a ruling by the Supreme Court's conservative majority that granted former presidents broad immunity from criminal prosecution. Mr Smith dropped both cases after Trump won the election, citing a longstanding Justice Department policy against prosecuting a sitting president, but issued a report in January saying evidence he gathered would have been enough to convict Mr Trump at trial. Mr Trump denied wrongdoing and assailed the prosecutions as politically motivated attempts to damage his campaign.
