Woman Who Was Allegedy Hit By Vince McMahon In Car Accident Says She Is Lucky To Have Survived
On Thursday, July 24, Vince McMahon was reportedly in a car accident. Three vehicles were reportedly involved in the accident, including McMahon’s Bentley Continental GT.
Barbara Dolan, 72, founder and CEO of BD8 Capital Partners, gave her account of the accident in a public post on Facebook.
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.
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.
McMahon was issued 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.
According to a Connecticut State Police accident summary (via POST Wrestling), a 2024 Bentley Continental GT driven by McMahon collided with the rear of a 2023 BMW 430, which Dolan was driving. McMahon’s vehicle then struck approximately 30 feet of the median’s wooden beam guardrail.
Debris from the collision with the guardrail was flung into the southbound lanes, where it was struck by a 2020 Ford Fusion, which was being driven by a 27-year-old male.
POST Wrestling notes “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.”
All three drivers were reportedly wearing seatbelts and no injuries were evident.
Vince has been out of the spotlight since January 2024 when a lawsuit was filed against him by former WWE employee Janel Grant, who accused McMahon of sexual assault and sex trafficking.
