Overview

• State police cited McMahon for misdemeanor reckless driving and following too closely, released him on a $500 bond and scheduled his appearance in Stamford Superior Court for August 26.
• He was driving northbound on Westport’s Merritt Parkway when his 2024 Bentley struck a 2023 BMW and then hit a wooden median guardrail, sending debris into the path of a southbound Ford Fusion.
• No injuries were reported in the July 24 crash, with all drivers wearing seatbelts and the airbags deploying in both McMahon’s Bentley and the BMW.
• BMW driver Barbara Doran estimated on Facebook that McMahon hit her at 80–90 mph and credited safety measures for her survival despite her vehicle being totaled.
• The collision’s timing with Hulk Hogan’s death and McMahon’s 2022 resignation during misconduct investigations have intensified public scrutiny of the former WWE chief.
