Newly released footage shows former WWE executive Vince McMahon crashing his Bentley Continental GT while traveling over 100 mph in 2025.
The video taken from a police officer’s dash cam shows McMahon speeding down a Connecticut highway on July 24 of that year. McMahon’s car can be seen clipping the BMW driving in front of him before pulling over and being confronted by law enforcement.
“Why were you driving all over 100 mph?” state police Detective Maxwell Robins asked McMahon, 80, after approaching the wrecked Bentley on the side of Merritt Parkway in Westport.
“I got my granddaughter’s birthday,” McMahon said in response.
“You almost hit, I think, 115 miles per hour… I’m trying to catch up to you, and you keep taking off,” Robins said.
“No, no no. I’m not trying to outrun you,” McMahon insisted in the video. The officer next asked McMahon if he was looking at his phone, which he denied.
Robins told McMahon that his car is fast, prompting McMahon to agree, “Yeah, too (expletive) fast.”
There were no injuries from the crash, but another car traveling in the opposite direction was struck by debris. The driver of that car was coincidentally wearing a WWE shirt, the Associated Press reported. In another strange twist, WWE legend Hulk Hogan died of a heart attack on the same day of the crash.
McMahon was charged with reckless driving and following too closely. He entered a pretrial probation program, which allowed him to have the charges erased, plus was ordered to make a $1,000 charitable contribution.
“Not every car accident is a crime,” the WWE exec’s lawyer said of the incident. “Vince’s primary concern during this case was for the other drivers and is appreciative that the court saw this more of an accident than a crime that needed to be prosecuted.”
McMahon stepped down as WWE’s CEO in 2022 following sexual misconduct allegations from a former employee, which he denied. The lawsuit is ongoing.
