Nick Hogan, son of wrestling icon Hulk Hogan and brother of female impersonator Brooke Hogan, suffered serious injuries when he crashed his car into a median last night in Clearwater, FL. His passenger, a yet unnamed male, is currently in critical condition. TMZ reports:
Law enforcement tells TMZ the accident occurred around 7:31 PM ET. According to police, a Toyota Supra, driven by Nick Bollea (Hogan’s real name), was traveling at a very high rate of speed when it lost control and hit a raised median. The car was flipped around and the back end hit a palm tree. The impact, we’re told, “destroyed the entire car.” The two male occupants were flown by Medivac helicopter from the accident scene to a hospital in St. Petersburg. We’re told both men had “very very serious” injuries. The accident happened on Court Street, a main drag in downtown Clearwater, causing the entire street to be shut down for hours.”
Downtown Court Street is a one lane road with a lot of traffic lights, so it’s unclear why Nick Hogan was speeding. Maybe he was being chased. Or maybe he didn’t want to be seen in a yellow Toyota Supra. I’ll admit, that has to be a little embarrassing.
Update: Radio personality and close friend of Hulk Hogan, Bubba the Love Sponge, says Nick has been released and is currently resting at home. The passenger? ” The other boy John, needs our prayers…thats all i can say at this point.” That can’t be good.
Update II: Nick’s tranny mother issued the following statement: “My son Nick and a friend were involved in a car accident last night. Nick suffered minor injuries and has been treated and released from the hospital. At this time, his friend, John Graziano remains hospitalized. Nick is currently at the hospital with John and his family. His sole concern is for the well being of his friend. On behalf of my family, we ask that your thoughts and prayers be with John and his loved ones.” Source
