The force of the collisions led to airbag deployment in both the Bentley and the BMW. All of the drivers involved, including McMahon, were reported to be wearing seatbelts at the time. The crash left all three vehicles disabled and requiring towing from the scene. Officials noted that approximately 30 feet of the median guardrail sustained damage as a result of the accident.
No injuries were reported among any of the parties.
