Woman allegedly hit by Vince McMahon’s car says she’s ‘lucky to have survived’

The woman who was allegedly hit by a car driven by Vince McMahon last week says she is grateful to be alive after the accident.

Barbara Doran shared images of the collision’s aftermath in a public Facebook post on Tuesday. She also claimed that McMahon was driving erratically at the time of the accident and that a state trooper was in the process of pulling him over. According to Doran, the trooper later told her that had McMahon not swerved at the last minute, the outcome could have been far more tragic.

While initial reports stated that no one was injured in the crash, Doran shared that she has been experiencing a stiff neck and has undergone a “full battery” of tests.

Doran wrote:

“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 given a misdemeanor summons for reckless driving and following too closely resulting in an accident. He has a court date scheduled for August.
