  "textContent": "\n\n\n\nDashcam footage released today captures the terrifying moments when former WWE chairman Vince McMahon, 80, weaved through traffic at speeds approaching 115 mph before ploughing into another vehicle on a Connecticut motorway.\n\nThe video, recorded during an incident last July, shows McMahon's £240,000 Bentley Continental GT Speed darting between lanes on Route 15 near Westport before striking the rear of a BMW.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nFollowing the collision, his luxury vehicle careered into the crash barrier, scattering wreckage across the carriageway.\n\nSmoke poured from the damaged Bentley as it continued along the road before finally coming to a stop.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTRENDING\n\nStories\n\nVideos\n\nYour Say\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nWhen a state trooper approached the wrecked vehicle, McMahon appeared visibly dazed, with airbags deployed around him.\n\nThe officer informed him he had been clocked at approximately 115 mph, which McMahon seemed to struggle to comprehend.\n\nHe told the trooper: \"I'm trying to drive. I haven't been driving my car in God knows how long.\"\n\nMcMahon insisted he was not attempting to flee.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nHe admitted the sports car was \"too fast\" for him, having not been behind its wheel for some considerable time.\n\nAs he handed over his documents, McMahon berated himself audibly: \"God damn it. Stupid f**king fool.\"\n\nMcMahon explained to officers he had been racing to attend his granddaughter's birthday celebration, with his destination just one exit away when the crash occurred.\n\nUpon learning nobody had been seriously hurt, he expressed visible relief, exclaiming: \"Oh s**t, that's a miracle.\"\n\n### LATEST SPORT NEWS\n\n\n\n\n  * UK Athletics admits causing death of Paralympian who was hit on the head by pole during training\n  * Keely Hodgkinson makes 'weird' confession after smashing world record\n  * Chaos unfolds at Daytona 500 as 190mph collision sparks 20 car pile-up\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe driver of the BMW, Barbara Doran, later recounted the ordeal on social media.\n\nShe estimated McMahon struck her vehicle at between 80mph and 90 mph while she travelled in the nearside lane.\n\nWriting on social media, Ms ****Doran said: \"I was lucky to have kept control of the car, more or less, as I shot off the road after being catapulted over 100 yards,\"\n\nThe women added she felt \"lucky to have survived the crash\".\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nMcMahon was subsequently charged with reckless driving and following too closely, both offences resulting from the collision.\n\nHowever, in October, a Connecticut judge permitted him to enter a pretrial diversion programme on condition he make a $1,000 charitable contribution and maintain proper licensing and insurance for any future driving.\n\nShould he successfully complete the programme, all charges against him will be dropped within 12 months.\n\nHis lawyer, Mark Sherman, expressed satisfaction with the ruling, telling TMZ: \"It was good news. Not every car accident is a crime and the judge agreed he deserved this dismissal and we're grateful for that.\"\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards:The GB News Editorial Charter**",
