Another UPDATE:
According to Cena's driver, Jules Anderson, the accident occurred around 11:30 a.m., when Cena's vehicle was traveling eastbound on Rt. 76. The SUV sustained slight damage in the rear, according to Anderson, who further confirmed that no injuries were observable at the scene of the accident. Cena was on a phone meeting at the time of the collision.
The Cenation Commander in Chief's celebrity may have also helped calm the waters between the other drivers, Anderson said.
"They were arguing, and I stepped in to calm the situation down," he said. "I told the guys, There's no need to fight, as long as everybody's living and breathing."
Once Anderson informed the other drivers that his passenger was the former 12-time World Champion, tempers cooled.
"I said, I have the most important client right now, I've got to get John Cena down to this next meeting," he continued. "Immediately, when they saw it was John Cena in the car, they calmed down, started acting like friends, and wanted to meet him."
