Linda McMahon is presently busy destroying the Division of Education; however, her husband, Vince McMahon, could not let her be the only one within the household to interrupt one thing past repair. Final Thursday, the World Wrestling Entertainment co-founder reportedly destroyed a Bentley Continental GT in a crash that additionally took out two different vehicles, TMZ experiences. The crash reportedly happened at about 9 a.m. Thursday morning in Connecticut, which, as TMZ factors out, was solely hours earlier than we discovered his longtime good friend Hulk Hogan had died.

Regardless that the crash occurred almost every week in the past, particulars on the reason for the crash are nonetheless scarce. What we do know is that McMahon drove his Bentley into the again of a BMW 430i and likewise crashed right into a guardrail on the median while touring north on State Route 15 in Westport. The crash additionally reportedly dispatched particles into oncoming lanes, taking out a Ford Fusion in the process.

The excellent news is, the drivers in both the BMW and the Ford have been wearing their seatbelts, and no severe accidents have been reported.

Whereas we might not know what McMahon was doing properly earlier than he ruined two different drivers’ days, you may in all probability make a few educated guesses based on the fact that TMZ experiences he was cited for reckless driving and following too closely, leading to an accident. Within the state of Connecticut, reckless driving is taken into account a misdemeanor and carries a fine of as much as $300 and as much as 30 days in jail.
