"Vince McMahon, former chair of WWE, hit me going 80-90mph as I drove in the right lane of the narrow Merritt Highway. 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."

TMZ claimed that the former WWE chief’s car smashed into the back of a BMW before folding into a guard rail. Both cars were left heavily damaged from the crash, with the Bentley having its front right tyre ripped off.

Debris was thrown from the collision and was launched into oncoming cars, damaging a Ford that was driving southbound.

All three drivers were reportedly wearing seatbelts, but that did not take away the shock from Doran.

"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,” she continued.
