Ex-WWE boss Vince McMahon accused of reckless driving in Connecticut crash
WESTPORT, Conn. (WTNH) — State police in Connecticut say former WWE CEO Vince McMahon, the husband of Education Secretary Linda McMahon, was issued a misdemeanor summons for reckless driving after allegedly causing a multi-vehicle crash last week. The three-vehicle crash took place on the morning of July 24 on a thoroughfare in Westport, according to an accident report from Connecticut State Police. Officials said McMahon, 79, was driving a 2024 Bentley Continental GT Speed in a northbound lane when he allegedly rear-ended a 2023 BMW 430 in front of him. His car then hit a wooden median guardrail, sending debris over the median into the southbound lane and into the path of a 2020 Ford Fusion, the report indicates. Why Hulk Hogan descended upon American culture at exactly the right time No injuries were reported and all three parties were wearing seatbelts at the time. The airbags in McMahon's vehicle, along with the BMW, were deployed. The three vehicles were towed from the scene, state police said. About 30 feet of the median guardrail also suffered moderate damage. McMahon was issued a misdemeanor summons for reckless driving and following too closely resulting in an accident. The report lists McMahon's address as the former WWE headquarters in Stamford. According to state police, he was released on a $500 non-surety bond and is scheduled to appear in Stamford Superior Court on Aug. 26. Family mourns 4 relatives who died in NC crash, thanks woman who helped rescue 5th The accident occurred the same day wrestling legend Hulk Hogan died at the age of 71. McMahon posted his condolences to X hours after the crash. '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,' his post read. Nexstar's WTNH has reached out to McMahon's representatives for comment. In 2022, McMahon stepped down as WWE's chief executive 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. Vince and Linda McMahon are both accused in a separate suit of knowing about a ringside announcer who allegedly sexually abused young boys for years but doing nothing about it. They have denied those accusations as well.
