It turns out that ex-WWE chief Vince McMahon got into a high speed car accident with a pedestrian at the same time that Hulk Logan sadly passed away. Talk about some wild timing! I mean, what are the odds of something like that happening?
Vince McMahon fortunately came out of the accident okay. And as for Hulk Logan, may he rest in peace, he was a legend in the wrestling world. It’s such a sad loss for all of us fans out there.
The collision occurred around 9am EST on Thursday morning as he traveled northbound on Route 15 in Westport in his 2024 Bentley, according to a crash report provided to Daily Mail by Connecticut State troopers. TMZ was the first to publish details of the crash.
The report claims that the 79-year-old McMahon rammed into the back of a 2023 BMW 430, before a third vehicle was then impacted by the debris from the initial crash.
The driver of the BMW was confirmed as Barbara Doran, who took to Facebook to share pictures from the crash, as well as revealing her side of the story.
In a post, she wrote: ‘Lucky to have survived a horrific car crash on the way up to catch the ferry to Martha’s Vineyard last Thursday morning. Both cars totaled.
‘Vince McMahon, former chair of WWE, hit me going 80-90mph as I drove in the right lane of the narrow Merritt Highway. I and the dog are mostly fine, but was lucky to have kept control of the car, more or less, as I shot off the road after being catapulted over 100 yards.
‘An unmarked state trooper had been following him as he sped in and out of cars down the highway and had just turned his lights on to pull Mcmahon over, but he was not in time. Both front wheels of McMahon’s Bentley were sheared 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.
‘Amazing that no other cars were hit, and that I got out of the car, hands shaking for a good twenty minutes, but otherwise seemingly unscathed (stiff neck later, etc., and full battery of hospital scans and bloodwork. Time will tell I am told.).
‘Oddly, Hulk Hogan, who made McMahon’s fame and fortune, died about the same time as the accident. Photos of my car and his car here’.
McMahon was issued a misdemeanor summons for reckless driving and following too closely as a result. He will also have to appear in court next month.
The crash report confirmed no injuries were sustained by anyone involved in the incident.
Just hours after the crash, McMahon took to X to share a tribute to Hulk Hogan, who died after suffering a cardiac arrest at his home in Clearwater, Florida on Thursday.
McMahon wrote: ‘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.
Let’s all send some positive vibes Vince’s way as he recovers from the accident. And let’s take a moment to remember the incredible legacy that Hulk Logan left behind. Wrestling will never be the same without him.
