TMZ Sports has reported that former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon was involved in a serious car crash in Connecticut last Thursday morning – just hours before news of Hulk Hogan’s passing broke. According to the official crash report, the accident occurred around 9 AM on Route 15 in Westport. McMahon was driving a 2024 Bentley northbound when he rear-ended a 2023 BMW 430. The collision then caused McMahon’s car to veer into the median, slamming into a wooden-beam guardrail.
The crash was so intense that debris scattered across the two-lane highway, eventually striking a third vehicle – a Ford Fusion traveling southbound. The impact was severe enough to trigger airbag deployment in both McMahon’s Bentley and the BMW.
Fortunately, all drivers involved were wearing seatbelts, and no injuries were reported. Despite no medical emergencies, all three vehicles sustained significant damage and had to be towed from the scene. Authorities noted that about 30 feet of the guardrail was destroyed in the crash.
Following the investigation, McMahon was issued a misdemeanor summons for reckless driving and following too closely – both of which contributed to the accident. He is scheduled to appear in court late next month.
Later that same day, McMahon publicly mourned the death of Hulk Hogan, a longtime friend and one of WWE’s most iconic figures. Hogan and McMahon’s careers were deeply intertwined, making the emotional toll of the day all the more intense.
You can read McMahon’s statement about Hogan’s death below:
“The world lost a treasure today. Hulk Hogan was the greatest WWE Superstar of ALL TIME, someone who was loved and admired around the world. He was a trailblazer, the first performer who transitioned from being a wrestling star into a global phenomenon.
His grit and unbridled thirst for success were unparalleled – and made him the consummate performer. He gave everything he had to the audience whom he appreciated, respected and loved.
He leaves us with one of his favorite expressions, ‘Train, take your vitamins and say your prayers.’ Today, we pray for him.”
