A motorist who claims to have been the one struck by Vince McMahon in a multi-car crash has given her side of what took place on the day of the incident.
On July 29, news broke that former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon was involved in a car accident the Thursday before, [July 24]. As first reported by TMZ, McMahon’s Bentley collided with a BMW and a Ford Fusion was also damaged after crashing into the debris of the initial collision.
While there has been no statement from McMahon or his attorneys regarding what took place that day, a driver who was allegedly behind the wheel has. In a public post on Facebook, Barbara Doran, 72 has stated that she was hit at around 90 mph, adding that her dog was also in the vehicle:
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 @Mr. McMahon /#VinceMcMahon, former chair of WWE, hit me going 80-90mph as I drove in the right lane of the narrow Merritt Highway (built in the 1930s). 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.
Continuing, Doran claims that a state trooper attempted to pull over McMahon and that the former WWE Chairman had seen her BMW at the last minute and swerved, avoiding a head-on collision:
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.
Dolan also attached photos of the accident to her post, which shows some of the damage caused to her and McMahon’s vehicles.
The TMZ report added that everyone as wearing their seatbelts and that no one suffered serious injuries. A police report obtained by POST Wrestling also adds that the river of the other vehicle may also have a connection to WWE:
Remarkably, the driver of the Ford Fusion has a name that matches with an online profile for a WWE digital content staffer based in Connecticut, and whose college start year is consistent with the birthdate on the incident report, assuming typical enrollment age.
Vince McMahon To Appear In Court Following Car Crash
The original TMZ report added that McMahon is set to appear in court in late August in relation to the motoring collision. POST Wrestling added the following from the police report in relation to the incident, corroborating the upcoming court appearance:
State Police issued McMahon a misdemeanor summons for violating two Connecticut General Statutes: 14-222 (Reckless Driving) and 14-240(b) (Following Too Closely Resulting in an Accident). He was released on a $500 non-surety bond and is scheduled to appear at Stamford Superior Court on August 26, 2025.
