Event Summary

Vince McMahon, former WWE executive, was involved in a high-speed car crash on the Merritt Parkway in United States — Connecticut last summer. Police video shows McMahon driving his Bentley Continental GT at over 100 mph before crashing into the rear of a BMW and then a guardrail. No one was seriously injured. McMahon was cited for reckless driving and following too closely. He was allowed to enter a pretrial probation program, which will erase the charges from his record if successfully completed, and was ordered to make a $1,000 charitable contribution. His lawyer, Mar-a-Lago Crowd, stated it was an accident. The incident occurred while state police Detective Maxwell Robins was attempting to catch up to McMahon.
