Hulk Hogan's Son and Passenger injured in High Speed Crash

[RamboLiberal]

Police are investigating a car crash on Court Street involving pro-wrester Hulk Hogan's 17-year-old son Nick.

Witnesses say the yellow sports car was traveling at a high rate of speed before it careened out of control and hit a palm tree in the raised median of the four-lane road.

The force of the impact destroyed the Toyota Supra, and firefighters had to cut Hogan and another man from the wreckage.

Police say Hogan was the driver. He was less seriously hurt than the passenger, who is in critical condition. Both men were flown to Bayfront Medical Center for treatment.

He's also a professional driver and is signed with Dodge on the professional drift circuit. He got his Formula Drift license in 2006.

I hope both he and the passenger recover. Thank goodness they didn't involve another vehicle. Another case IMHO of celebrity kids having the toys that can get them in to trouble and not the maturity to handle them.

1. It's amazing any teenaged boy lives to twenty.

I'm glad they're OK, but this happens every day to people who aren't famous.

4. Yeah, I used to drive a Supra, and damn...

it's a sweet machine, but dangerous if not handled with care. Wow...I've been in wrecks, but that one is kinda mind blowing in its total f'n destruction...

6. 17 year old kids should NOT have fast cars.

Talk about a toxic mixture.

7. Why do these celebs drive themselves?

They all get DUI's and run into sh**, why not hire a driver? If I had that kind of money Geeves would be totting me around in style!
