As PWMania.com previously reported, Vince McMahon, the former Chairman and CEO of WWE, was involved in a serious car accident last Thursday in Connecticut. Fortunately, no injuries were reported despite both vehicles being totaled in the incident.
Barbara Dolan, the founder and CEO of BD8 Capital Partners, took to Facebook to share her account of the crash.
According to Dolan, McMahon struck her car at a speed of 80-90 mph while she was driving in the right lane of the narrow Merritt Parkway, a historic highway built in the 1930s. โVince McMahon hit me going 80-90mphโฆ Both cars totaled. I and the dog are mostly fine, but was lucky to have kept control of the carโฆ after being catapulted over 100 yards,โ Dolan wrote.
She added that an unmarked state trooper had been following McMahon, attempting to pull him over for reckless speeding moments before the collision occurred. โThe trooper told me afterwards that McMahon saw me last minute and swerved, smashing into my left rearโฆ If he had hit me full on, there mightโve been a very different ending for me.โ
According to Dolan, McMahonโs airbags deployed, and the front wheels of his Bentley were sheared off in the crash. The quick action likely saved both parties from more serious injuries. Dolan mentioned undergoing hospital scans and evaluations following the incident and remains in recovery. โHands shaking for a good twenty minutes, but otherwise seemingly unscathedโฆ Time will tell, I am told.โ
Dolan also made note of an eerie coincidence โ WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan passed away around the same time as the crash. Hoganโs death has drawn significant media attention and WWE tributes throughout the week.
At this time, neither Vince McMahon nor WWE has issued a public statement regarding the incident. Stay with PWMania.com for any further developments.
