Vince McMahon Car Accident Incident & Charged with Reckless Driving Update – McMahon Attended Court Hearing on 8/26

As noted before, former WWE and TKO Executive Chairman Vince McMahon was involved in a serious car accident this past July in Connecticut and was charged with a misdemeanor for reckless driving and following too closely resulting in an accident.

PWInsider’s Mike Johnson reported that McMahon attended an arraignment hearing before a traffic court in Stamford, Connecticut based on recent court records.

In a follow-up report, Johnson reported that McMahon is currently scheduled to attend a Disposition Hearing on October 16th for his next court date.

Barbara Doran, one of the drivers involved in the car accident, recently provided an update on Facebook about the incident and how she was lucky to have survived the “horrific car crash” caused by McMahon.

“Lucky to have survived a horrific car crash on the way up to catch the ferry to Martha’s Vineyard last Thursday morning. Both cars totaled. Vince McMahon @Mr. McMahon /#VinceMcMahon, 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.

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’s Bentley were sheared off, and his airbags deployed, probably saving him from significant injury.

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’ve been a very different ending for me.

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.).”
