WESTPORT, Conn. (AP) - Former WWE CEO Vince McMahon is accused of causing a
crash on a Connecticut highway that wrecked his Bentley and damaged two other
cars, a few hours before Hulk Hogan's death hit the news and he was quoted
praising the wrestling icon.
 McMahon was cited for reckless driving and following too closely after last
Thursday morning's crash on the Merritt Parkway in Westport, state police said
in a report. No one was injured. He was released on a $500 bond and ordered to
appear in Stamford Superior Court on Aug. 26.
 Representatives for McMahon did not immediately return email messages on
Wednesday.
 TMZ first reported the crash on Tuesday and published photos taken by one of
the people involved in the crash that showed heavy damage to the front end of
McMahon's 2024 Bentley Continental GT Speed. The photos also showed rear-end
damage to a BMW 430 he struck.
 The police report said McMahon was driving northbound on the parkway, also
known as Route 15, when he rear-ended the BMW and crashed into wooden guardrail.
A car traveling in the southbound lanes struck debris from the crash that flew
over the guardrail, state police said.
 There were no passengers in the cars and all three drivers were wearing their
seat belts, police said. The air bags in McMahon's car and the BMW deployed.
