Overview

• McMahon appeared in Stamford Superior Court on October 16 to answer reckless driving and following-too-closely charges stemming from a July 24 three-car crash in Westport.
• Prosecutors allege he was swerving on the Merritt Parkway at up to 90 mph before rear-ending a BMW and striking the median, with debris contributing to a third vehicle’s crash.
• Police reported no injuries and said all occupants wore seatbelts, while photos show heavy damage to McMahon’s 2024 Bentley.
• Judge Gary White granted accelerated pretrial rehabilitation after neither other driver objected, allowing McMahon to continue driving under the program’s terms.
• Outside court, the 80-year-old signed autographs as his attorney called the outcome good news and argued that not every car accident is a crime.
