Overview
- Newly released dashcam and bodycam footage shows McMahon’s Bentley swerving through traffic on Route 15 in Westport before rear-ending a BMW and hitting a wooden guardrail.
- The video was obtained via public-records request and captures debris flying over the median as a southbound car strikes fragments from the crash.
- In his exchange with a state trooper, McMahon says he was headed to his granddaughter’s birthday, notes he hadn’t driven the car in a long time, and calls himself a “stupid f**king fool.”
- Police cited McMahon, 80, for misdemeanor reckless driving and following too closely; in October 2025 a judge allowed accelerated rehabilitation requiring a $1,000 charitable donation and proper licensing and insurance.
- No serious injuries were reported; airbags deployed in McMahon’s car, all drivers wore seat belts, and the BMW driver, identified as Barbara Dolan/Doran, said her vehicle was catapulted roughly 100 yards.
