Hulk Hogan’s teenage son crashed his sports car, leaving a friend seriously injured. Nick Bollea - whose father’s real name is Terry Bollea - crashed his Toyota Supra in Florida on Sunday (26.08.07) after losing control and smashing into a palm tree, injuring himself and putting his passenger in intensive care.
The passenger remains in critical condition, but Nick Bollea has been discharged from Bayfront Medical Center after suffering only minor injuries.
A representative answering the patient information line at the hospital said Bollea, 17, has been discharged. John Graziano, 22, remained in critical condition Monday afternoon, according to hospital spokeswoman Nancy Waite.
“Nick is currently at the hospital with John and his family,” said Bollea’s mother, Linda Hogan, in a statement.”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.”
Clearwater police spokesman Wayne Shelor reported Nick’s car had been driving at “a high rate of speed” when it “inexplicably left the roadway” and flipped around, causing its back end to hit a palm tree.
He added the car was “completely destroyed” and both Nick and Graziano had to be pulled from the wreckage and flown to hospital by helicopter.
Nick’s mother, Linda Hogan, said: “Nick is currently at the hospital with John and his family. His sole concern is for the wellbeing of his friend. On behalf of my family, we ask that your thoughts and prayers be with John and his loved ones.”
No charges have been filed against Nick.
Hulk and his family have recently been seen in reality TV show ‘Hogan Knows Best’.
