Westport, Connecticut – Just 15 minutes ago, a serious traffic accident occurred on the Merritt Parkway in Westport, Connecticut. Authorities have confirmed that the victim is none other than Vince McMahon, the former Chairman and CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).
According to initial reports from the Westport Police Department, the incident involved a high-speed collision between McMahon’s vehicle and another car. Emergency responders arrived on the scene within minutes, but despite their efforts, McMahon was pronounced dead shortly after being transported to a nearby hospital.
Witnesses described the crash as “violent and sudden,” with debris scattered across multiple lanes. The Merritt Parkway was temporarily closed in both directions as investigators and cleanup crews worked at the site.
Vince McMahon, 79, was a towering figure in the world of professional wrestling.
