Video released of Vince McMahon’s 100 mph crash, result of ‘granddaughter’s birthday’

Vince McMahon’s high-speed car crash in Connecticut last summer was a result of trying to attend his granddaughter’s birthday.

That’s what the WWE CEO told a state trooper who had to catch up to him to pull him over in newly released police video

“Why were you driving all over 100 mph?” state police Detective Maxwell Robins asked McMahon after the crash, according to police bodycam video. Replied McMahon: “I got my granddaughter’s birthday.”

The dashcam video showed McMahon driving up on a BMW in the same lane, hitting the brakes, then swerving at the last second.

McMahon’s 2024 Bentley Continental GT clipped the rear of the other car before hitting the guardrail.

According to The Associated Press, McMahon was cited for reckless driving and following too closely.

A state judge in October allowed McMahon to enter a pretrial probation program that will result in the charges being erased from his record next October if he successfully completes the program. He was also ordered to make a $1,000 charitable contribution.

No injuries were sustained.

State police said the state trooper was trying to catch up to McMahon. They also said it did not appear McMahon was trying to escape the trooper.

“I’m trying to catch up to you and you keep taking off,” Robins told McMahon in video recorded by police body cameras on the side of the highway.

Replied McMahon: “No, no no. I’m not trying to outrun you.”
