Vince McMahon To Appear In Court On 8/26 Stemming From July Car Accident
On Thursday, July 24, Vince McMahon was reportedly in a car accident. Three vehicles were reportedly involved in the accident, including McMahon’s Bentley Continental GT.
According to PWInsider, McMahon is slated to appear in court on August 26th. He was issued a misdemeanor summons for reckless driving and following too closely, resulting in an accident. Court records list the appearance as an arraignment.
Barbara Dolan, 72, founder and CEO of BD8 Capital Partners, gave her account of the accident in a public post on Facebook.
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.).
Fightful will continue to provide information on the accident and McMahon as they are known.
