McMahon was accused of causing a July 24 crash on the Merritt
Parkway in Westport that wrecked his Bentley and damaged two
other cars, state police said. No one was injured in the crash,
and the other drivers did not object to McMahon's application
for the pretrial program.
The police report said McMahon was driving northbound on the
parkway, also known as Route 15, when he rear-ended a BMW and
crashed into wooden guardrail. A car traveling in the southbound
lanes struck debris from the crash that flew over the guardrail.
McMahon did not speak during the brief hearing. His attorney,
Mark Sherman, said afterward that “not every car accident is a
crime. That’s what happened here, an accident,.”
McMahon stepped down as WWE’s CEO in 2022 amid a company
investigation into sexual misconduct allegations. He also
resigned as executive chairman of the board of directors of TKO
Group Holdings, the parent company of WWE, last year, a day
after a former WWE employee filed a sexual abuse lawsuit against
him. McMahon has denied the allegations. The lawsuit remains
pending.
McMahon bought what was then the World Wrestling Federation in
1982 and transformed it from a regional wrestling company into a
worldwide phenomenon. Besides running the company with his wife,
Linda, who is now the U.S. education secretary, he also
performed at WWE events as himself.
