Hulk Hogan’s son Nick Bollea and a friend were both in serious condition after a high-speed crash Sunday evening. People reports:
Bollea, who was featured with the rest of his family on the pro wrestler’s VH1 reality show Hogan Knows Best, was driving his yellow Toyota Supra down a four-lane highway in downtown Clearwater, Fla., when the car’s rear tires hit the raised median, police said. After fishtailing for several seconds, the car slammed into a 25-foot tall palm tree. “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.” Bollea, 17, and his male passenger had to be extracted from the vehicle using the “jaws of life.” They were placed on a Medivac helicopter where they were flown seven minutes to nearby Bayfront Medical Center in St. Petersburg.
TMZ has a follow-up stating that Hogan was immediately at the scene of his son’s crash:
A frantic Hulk Hogan got right to the scene of his son’s extremely serious car crash last night, just moments after it happened. WFTV Orlando shot footage of the wrestler — clad in his usual tank top and bandana — talking with paramedics before his son Nick and his as yet unidentified passenger were airlifted to a nearby hospital.
TMZ also reports that Nick was discharged this morning, which is awesome news and let’s hope his friend pulls through too. Now if only they’ll tell the real story, that it was the Hulkster that got them out and not the jaws of life. Because, seriously, if you watch the show, Hulk is definitely the kind of dad that would wrestle a submarine for his kids. And he’d win too. Using only his moustache.

Yeah, give the little irresponsible fucker a sports car he can’t handle. Best way to abort a sixteen year old loser that has turned into a family embarrassment. I hope the other kids family sues the fuck out of this little cocky little shit. Not to mention the other people he could have killed with his drag racing. The little fucking water head kid should have died.

What happened to this site? It used to be really funny. Did the writers quit or go on strike? Are they working for someone else on a different site? Can you tell me where?
veggo | August 27, 2007 at 11:13 am
The little ant crawling on my deck is WAY more interesting than this. Plus, he’s stronger. But the weird thing is he has a bleach blonde mullet.

Superfish, do you want me to set an alarm clock for you? You are officially the *last* website on the planet to pick up this story. And the Owen Wilson one.

Duchess of Dork | August 27, 2007 at 11:23 am
..and I just realized. My car is almost exactly like his. Huh. Well. There’s irony for you.
Chauncey Gardner | August 27, 2007 at 11:26 am
What the Hulkster doesn’t know is that I engineered the accident from a distance, and as soon as he arrived on-scene, I high-tailed it over to his house and came on his daughter’s impressive thighs.

Damn… my brake fixing technique just don’t work like it used to… I’m off my game.
Oops… I’ve said too much…

“His car inexplicably left the road,” Clearwater Police spokesman Wayne Shelor tells PEOPLE, “and it was totally destroyed upon impact.”
Jesus Christ, that’s the funniest thing I’ve read in several days: “inexplicably.” I hope the crack Clearwater Police Dept can figure out this conundrum. Because I can’t think of anything that would make a car hit a median and then spin out of control and hit a tree at a high rate of speed. Dark magic, I’m sure, or perhaps global warming. Maybe 9/11. Yeah, that’s it. 9/11 made his car go out of control and then hit the tree.
LL | August 27, 2007 at 11:34 am
Yeah, I know the PD can’t go around saying what caused an accident until they do all the requisite paperwork and whatnot, but the rest of us are capable of putting 2 and 2 together and coming up with 4.
Just sayin’.
bob | August 27, 2007 at 11:35 am
if his injuries were so life-threatening, wouldn’t he still be hospitalized? just askin…

lambman | August 27, 2007 at 11:49 am
well, if you’ve seen the show that kid isn’t exactly great at following rules, directions..ect I’d expect he takes the same stance with traffic laws
Faggot | August 27, 2007 at 11:50 am
“TMZ also reports that Nick was discharged this morning, which is awesome news and let’s hope his friend pulls through too.”
You’re a faggot, Superfish. You’re supposed to be making fun of him.

Florida…why am I not surprised. The worse car crashes I have ever seen, and they have been few, have been in Florida.
Raise the driving age, not the cig or drink age. Parents, don’t let teens drive, period!! He dicho sufficiente.
jrzmommy | August 27, 2007 at 12:07 pm
“His car inexplicably left the road”
Yeah……inexplicably. Here’s a theory…perhaps a douchebag driving too fucking fast was the cause?? Maybe?
me | August 27, 2007 at 12:11 pm
That makes a lot of sense.
Nick was in serious and “critical” condition but somehow he was let out the next day.
Now are they lying about his friend too? Or did Nick just somehow escape injury and his friend got all the damage?
get it right | August 27, 2007 at 12:18 pm

They have pics of the car (if you haven’t seen already) at http://www.idontlikeyouinthatway.com/index.html
bob | August 27, 2007 at 1:05 pm
yeah that kind of damage doesn’t happen if you’re going the speed limit & paying attention.
33, I don’t care how old they are, when you get your license you need to at least pretend you’re an adult and use proper judgment when it comes to operating a potentially deadly machine. he could have killed someone.
Mark | August 27, 2007 at 1:12 pm
Some of you dickturds really ought to be ashamed of yourselves, though I’m sure you are not. We’re talking about someone’s child here and you are saying things like ‘I wish he had died’ and ‘too bad his sister wasn’t in the car’? Are you morons for real? I have taken the opportunity to notice that the more stupid posts come from those who seem to have something to say about every topic on this site. Are you guys that bitter that you are forced to sit on your fat asses all day that you must divert your misery towards others? Get freakin’ lives……God, what a waste of perfectly good oxygen most of you are!!!!
Ossot | August 27, 2007 at 1:16 pm
#38 The line “Bobby you’re driving like a pissed off teenager” was classic for a reason. Teenagers are morons. You were a jack ass too at 17 or wtfe on the road. Guaranteed.
PLUS, ask anyone you know. It doesn’t matter who. Ask them if they’re a good driver. I’ve never met someone who admits they suck at driving. EVERYONE is a self proclaimed “good” driver. 90% of people are complete idiots. My statistics are fool proof.
cry me a fucking river | August 27, 2007 at 1:21 pm
i don’t have much sympathy for the passenger. first of all, why is a 22 year old hanging out with a 17 year old? he should have been adult enough to tell hulk jr. to slow the fuck down.
get over it | August 27, 2007 at 1:25 pm
ha…number 36….your the idiot here…flipping out over WRESTLING? seriously, there are more important things to worry about in the world then if someone doesn’t know all the “logistics” of wrestling…if you can call them that.
dirty deeds | August 27, 2007 at 1:26 pm
this was all an elaborate hoax to get the hulkster out of the house so his attention starved tranny daughter could give out samples of her box without daddy cock blocking. you would think the cure is in her crotch the way he’s always guarding her. if any guy ever manages to probe her folds, you’ll know it’s cause daddy is immobilized or distracted with a kiddy car crash.

I never speed
I always stop at stop signs
I always guage the brake to gas ratio when making a turn
I never take red lites
I’m always looking wayyyyyy before I get to any intersection
I always signal
I hate rights on red (but take them carefully)
I’ve NEVER gotten a speeding ticket or a reckless driving ticket
I never drive drunk
I respect the road and my car and others.
I’m a careful driver and I’m a hell of a parallel parker. But I haven’t said I’m a good driver; that’s for someone else to judge.
my comment | August 27, 2007 at 1:36 pm
# 41- FYI- the 22 yr old who was with hulk, jr. is an iraq war vet from NYC. i am praying for his recovery.
Britney's Nappy Weave | August 27, 2007 at 1:40 pm
I do feel badly for the parents, being one myself I can’t imagine ever going through that kind of scare… BUT I am sick to death of agressive drivers!!!!! I commute an hour each way to work every day and I can’t begin to tell you the number of near misses I see every freaking day due to SPEEDING! It’s out of control! These retards have no fucking regard for human life and if they kill themselves fine, but it’s usually the innocent people (like the friend in his car) that suffer. Stupid aholes.
jrzmommy | August 27, 2007 at 1:46 pm
“His car inexplicably left the road”
and (apparently)
“the 22 yr old who was with hulk, jr. is an iraq war vet ”
Now it finally makes sense. They must have run over a roadside bomb – seems like those soldiers in Iraq are drawn to them like moths to the flame…
my comment | August 27, 2007 at 1:51 pm
47 you are about as funny as nothing.

man i hope hulk kicks that palm tree’s ass!! fucking trees!
Liam | August 27, 2007 at 1:58 pm
Weird thing is he is a professional drift racer, so “skidding” out of control is a little strange considering he does that for a living, only under control.
