Vince McMahon Cited After Merritt Parkway Crash

Former WWE CEO Vince McMahon, 79, was cited for reckless driving and following too closely after causing a three-car accident on Connecticut's Merritt Parkway on July 24, 2025. McMahon crashed his 2024 Bentley Continental GT Speed into the rear of a BMW 430, pushing it into a wooden guardrail, and debris caused a Ford Fusion in the opposite lane to collide with the wreckage. All three drivers were wearing seatbelts and no serious injuries were reported, although all vehicles sustained significant damage and required towing. The crash occurred just hours before wrestling icon Hulk Hogan died of cardiac arrest, with McMahon publicly paying tribute to Hogan as “the greatest WWE Superstar of ALL TIME.” McMahon was released on a $500 bond and is scheduled to appear in Stamford Superior Court on August 26. The incident adds to McMahon's recent controversies, including his resignation from WWE executive roles amid ongoing legal and misconduct allegations.
