Vince McMahon was driving recklessly behind a Connecticut woman's BWM when he rammed into that car's rear end on Thursday morning, according to a crash report provided to Daily Mail by state troopers.

The 79-year-old wrestling promoter was cited for reckless driving and following too closely in the three-car collision, which took place on the Merritt Parkway (Route 15) in Westport, Connecticut.

Nobody was injured in the crash, but another driver claims she was 'lucky to have survived' after McMahon's Bentley crashed into her BWM 'going 80-90mph,' as she wrote on Facebook.

Barbara Doran claimed she was 'shot off the road after being catapulted over 100 yards,' and noted that McMahon's front wheels were 'sheered off and his airbags deployed, probably saving him from significant injury.'

'The trooper told me afterwards that McMahon saw me last minute and swerved, smashing into my left rear, but that if he had hit me full on, there might've been a very different ending for me,' Doran wrote.

McMahon, whose 2024 Bentley Continental GT Speed is valued around $300,000, managed to escape serious injury. Sadly, he'd receive tragic news later that day when it was revealed that wrestling legend Hulk Hogan suffered a fatal cardiac arrest in Florida.

'Oddly, Hulk Hogan, who made McMahon's fame and fortune, died about the same time as the accident,' Doran wrote on Facebook.

McMahon's attorneys have not responded to Daily Mail's request for comment.

As detailed in the crash report, Doran's car was driving northbound in the right lane of Merritt Parkway when she was rear ended by McMahon, who then collided with the guardrail. A car traveling in the opposite direction was damaged by flying debris from the northbound side of the highway.

McMahon was released on a $500 non-surety bond and is now scheduled to be in Stamford Superior Court on August 26.

This is not the first time McMahon crashed a Bentley near the WWE headquarters in Stamford. In 2017, TMZ reporter the former WWE boss was seen walking away from a minor collision at an intersection.

McMahon stepped down as WWE CEO three years ago after it was revealed the company investigated allegations of sexual misconduct. Then in 2024, McMahon resigned as executive chairman of WWE parent company TKO Group holdings when a former employee, Janel Grant, sued him for sexual abuse.

That lawsuit remains pending and McMahon has denied the allegations.

The legendary promoter bought the World Wrestling Federation from his father more than four decades ago. Since then, the brand has changed to World Wrestling Entertainment, while becoming an international sensation with various properties continuously touring around the world.

Meanwhile McMahon's wife, Linda, is now Donald Trump's Secretary of Education after helping to get him elected in 2016 and re-elected in 2024.
