Former WWE CEO Vince McMahon Granted Special Program After Westport Crash Charges: Report

WESTPORT, CT — Vince McMahon, co-founder and former CEO of Stamford-based World Wrestling Entertainment, has reportedly been granted accelerated rehabilitation in connection with a three-vehicle crash state police said he initiated on the Merritt Parkway in Westport in July.

News 12 Connecticut reports that McMahon was granted the program during his appearance in Stamford Superior Court on Thursday.

If McMahon successfully completes the special probationary program in a year with no other violations, the charges will reportedly be dropped.

McMahon was driving a 2024 Bentley Continental GT Speed in the right lane near exit 20 (formerly exit 41) on the morning of July 24, when the car rear-ended a 2023 BMW 430 driven by a 72-year-old New York City woman, according to state police. The Bentley then crashed into the wooden beam guardrail in the median.

Debris from the crash flew over the guardrail into the southbound lane, where it was struck by a 2020 Ford Fusion Titanium driven by a North Haven man, 27, state police said.

As a result of the damage to them, all three vehicles had to be towed from the scene.

No injuries were reported in the crash, in which McMahon was the only driver arrested, receiving misdemeanor summonses on charges of reckless driving and following too closely, resulting in an accident.
