Vanity Fair and the National Security News Service have used the Freedom of Information Act to attempt to get information from the United States Navy regarding a serious car accident in 1964 involving then-lieutenant John McCain. The accident allegedly resulted in the possible death or serious injury of another individual. According to documents filed in court, the accident occurred in July of 1964 at the main gate of a Virginia Naval base.

NS News Service and Vanity Fair magazine both profess to have information regarding the accident from "first-hand sources", but the Navy is so far blocking the release of official document. Both news organizations have appealed the Navy's ruling.

During that period of McCain's life, he has admitted to being a fond of drinking and carousing. In 1964, John McCain's father, John Sydney McCain Jr. was a vice-admiral in the Navy. The following year, 1965, John McCain married his first wife, Carol Shepp.

Vanity Fair and the NS News Service have appealed the Navy's refusal to release documents pertaining to the accident and requested expedited treatment of the case. The NS News Service is claiming a cover up may be in play.
