Hulk Hogan’s son and co-star in his hit reality show Nick Bollea was injured in a car crash last night in downtown Clearwater, Florida. His car’s rear end smacked off the median, went off the road and smashed into a palm tree. Ouch. Bollea and his fellow passenger had to extracted from the car by fire fighters and were Medivaced to St. Petersburg for treatment. Bollea’s condition is listed as “serious” and his passenger’s is “critical”. Double ouch.
“His car inexplicably left the road,” Clearwater Police spokesman Wayne Shelor tells PEOPLE, “and it was totally destroyed upon impact.”
The cause of the crash is unknown, although police believe the car was traveling at a high rate of speed. “We don’t know exactly what happened,” says Shelor, “but we are investigating.”
More on the story after the jump.
Police alerted Hulk Hogan to the accident. According to a hospital source, the wrestler and his family are in a private waiting room as Bollea is being treated for “very serious, life-threatening” injuries. Hogan declined to address the media through a hospital spokesperson on Sunday evening, but plans to make a statement on Monday morning.
This will make for a tense episode of the show. That’s all I have. I hope he and his passenger get better, and avoid that terrible Leif Garrett moment where he had to apologize to the guy he put in the wheelchair. But no snark. I love Hulk Hogan! What am I – Lucius Malfoy?

I like this show- I hope it’s ok. However- it’s his own stupidity that caused it.

What an idiot, this is the second exotic he’s wrecked. The car is more of a loss to most of the car community than he is. Spoiled rich brat.

while I wouldn’t call a Toyota Supra an “exotic”, I do agree with you on your other points.
this guy wants to be a race car driver, mostly because he has no other discernible talents. or, rather, no talents at all. just like the daughter wanting to be a “singer”.
unfortunately, this knucklehead doesn’t realize that there’s more to being a race car driver than simply driving fast. part of that is the good sense to know that you don’t “race” on a public street, no matter how fast your car is, or how good you THINK you are.

I know he probably looks like blind man’s jack-o-lantern now, but he USED to look extra tasty. I love the baby huey look!

the only bad part about this story is the fact that his ugly ass, tranny-looking, no-talented sister wasn’t strapped to the back bumper! continued good parenting skills mr. “hogan”.

This kid doesn’t have a good track record with cars, he was driving his dad’s Lamborghini right before it burst into flames. He should join Paris, Nicole, Blohan in the “I should get a chauffeur” club.

How come the drunk drivers or the drivers period always come out of an accident unscathed?

It was an unfortunate accident. Auto accidents like that can happen in a blink of an eye.
