Nick Hogan Wrecks His Supra in a Work Zone

[ROBZ95Xj]

(CNN) -- The teenage son of wrestling icon Hulk Hogan was discharged Monday from a Florida hospital after he slammed his Toyota Supra into a palm tree in a wreck local police called "spectacular."


Nick Bollea, 17, was driving at a "high rate of speed" when he wrecked Sunday evening, police say.

1 of 3 A representative answering the patient information line at Bayfront Medical Center in St. Petersburg, Florida, said Nick Bollea, 17, had been discharged. Bollea is the son of Hogan, whose real name is Terrence Bollea.

Bollea's passenger in the Sunday crash, John Graziano, 22, remained in critical condition at Bayfront on Monday afternoon, said 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."

Nick Bollea was driving at a "high rate of speed" Sunday evening when he lost control of the yellow Supra, said Wayne Shelor, a spokesman for the Clearwater, Florida, police.

The car "inexplicably left the roadway," jumped a median and crashed into a palm tree just east of downtown, Shelor said.

"It destroyed the car," he said.

Firefighters had to extract Bollea and Graziano from the wreckage. Both were flown by helicopter to Bayfront Medical Center, Shelor said.

Police shut down the mile-long Court Street, the main east-west thoroughfare through central Clearwater, as they investigated the accident, he said.

"It was a spectacular wreck," Shelor said.

Footage from the crash site showed Hogan speaking to paramedics and police officers and talking on a cell phone. Hogan later went to the St. Petersburg hospital, Shelor said.

Can you say Involuntary Manslaughter? How about Negligent Homicide?

(Edit: last I heard, the friend was in really bad shape)

How about...don't give a 17 year old kid a 500hp Supra?

[Stumpalump]

I just saw one of his kids wad up Dodge Viper on Nopi Tunervision TV this weekend.

[ATMA weapon-XJ57]

glad hes ok and we should pray for his friend, BUT what a moron. what the hell was he thinking, he could drift in public? its one thing if he is by himself, but he had a passenger and his passenger is his responsibilty. damn rich kids. he better hope his friend makes it.

[Starboard M]

I was watching "Hogan knows best" when Nick was trying to become a pro drifter in a Dodge sponsored Viper.

Wreaked it twice.


Maybe now his dad will give him a stock civic.

[Rev Den]

You do know that the work zone ticket, and the wreck are not on the same day...right?

As far as his crash.....meh.

Happens everyday....and a lot worse the that.

WTF is a 'pro drifter'?

Anyone who watches Hogan Knows Best could tell you that waste of skin doesn't know how to drive. I hope the other kid pulls through OK.

[johnnyc]

Maybe his dad should buy him a gun. That way, he can kill himself without hurting anyone else.

Also the car in the picture is yellow, the one on the citation is black...

Yes, far worse I have been on a few.

[ROBZ95Xj]

my nad on the ticket, but you would of thought he would of lost his lisence after bein busted for doin 80 in a 45 mphg WORK ZONE! this whole crash thing could of been avoided

[Rev Den]

lisence after bein busted for doin 80 in a 45 mphg WORK ZONE!

Well......

Maybe that is what it would take. I drive through work zones all week......it is the rare vehicle that evens slows down for a work zone, much less to the posted speed.

Anyone who watches Hogan Knows Best ...

No. Leave it alone!

Ah, but it would be sooo easy...

No! Walk away. It's not worthy of your talents.

Come on. Just one shot. Please.

I said, No! He didn't know what he was typing. Just leave the poor Hogan watcher alone. It's not nice to pick on someone just because they watch Hogan.

Awww. You never let me have any fun.

Don't start whining. I'll send you to your room.

United States Drift Association.

That's...that's just sad. Really, that's just so pathetic I can't think of anything to say. I feel very sad for the future of the human race.

[Beej]

Hijack, but I gotta agree with Rhys Millen regarding drifting. He said it should be an X-Games sport because it has little to nothing to do with racing and is all about style and cool factor.

Really, the only thing that cheeses me off about drifting is when they either refer to it as 'racing' or when they talk about 'formula' when talking about drifting.

They had a drift night out here at the local track about a month ago and I have to say, I found myself getting into it. Reminded me of how I used to drive my Camaro back in the day. Of course, that was in rushhour traffic...

:D

[87manche]

drifting is not racing.
racing has an objective time measurement to determine a winner.

Drifting is all subjective.
drifting=ice skating
ice skating=gay
therefore
drifting=gay.

[Beej]

Drifting is all subjective.
drifting=ice skating
ice skating=gay
therefore
drifting=gay. Well, by that analysis, Mike Metzger's back to back backflips spanning 40 and 80 feet respectively on his dirtbike are also gay. So is professional skateboarding, snowboarding, freestyle skiing, etc.

IMHO, as long as they call it what it is, ie: 'looking cool in a cool looking shiny car with lots of stickers, huge horsepower and smoking tires', then who cares what they do?

Oh, come on Beej. Don't tempt me into a list of stupid. I don't have the time. I've got other threads to monitor.

[Beej]

But I really do want to lower my XJ to -3", kill the 4wd and just drift it all night long listening to Linkin Park...

:D

[Stumpalump]

Really. Who cares if they do it. It's organized donuts in a parking lot. They buy up stuff like tornados,esuperchargers and shiny exhoust tips. What else are you supposed to do with a souped up rice burner? Really in the end we benifit also because the after market makes money and the research trickles down into parts we can all use to make are stuff better. Never bash moter sports of any kind because we are involved in one. Just snicker and move on.

Don't kill the 4wd. Drifting in 4wd is twice the fun.

If fact, go find ya' a deuce and a half and drift 6x6.

1) It's stupid.
2) They think they're cool.
3) 1 + 2 = pathetic.

They should all be targeted by a Darwinian hit squad before we're overrun with stupid little drifting tard rugrats.

You've been watching First Blood reruns on cable again, haven't you?

[matt6669]

I love how 99% of the people calling drifting stupid have never been around or seen drifting in person or even been in a car an attempt it. People like you crack me up to no extend because you have no idea what you are talking about.

But that does suck about hogan's friend man, he's definitely going to be in some deep poo poo but I'm sure his father will bail him out somehow just like every other rich poo poo in this world.

Have you seen the show? Its rather funny to watch. When you have nothing else to do, its one of those mtv shows that you can just laugh at the pointless entertainment.

That and the daughter is hot:cool:

[Beej]

She only seems hot if you look at photos like this one:

I know exactly what drifting is. Just because a car can be made to do something stupid does not make it less stupid. The fact that people think it's cool does not make them smart, or the driver cool.

I saw 15 minutes once. The daughter was going to become a singer. It was so boring my autonomic system nearly shut down. I changed the channel just before I passed from asphyxia.

seen it, rode in a car powerful enough to do it on the track.

it has no point, it's all subjective.
might as well make it an olympic sport like syncronized swimming.

I mean come on, they don't even have an objective way to declare a winner. Just "judges" that write down how cool the run was.

I wonder if there are any french or russian judges, if so, I could become the drift champion with enough money.

:D

I disagree with you for two reasons.

The first is that you're a canuck, so you can't be right.

The second is that at least snowboarding/skateboarders and the like have actual blueprints for tricks. Everyone knows what a 940 is. It's like diving, people know what a dive is supposed to look like.
Until the drifters come up with some measurable standard to score by, the whole thing is pointless.

[dphillips]

Dirt Track!
That's the original "drifting". At least it's racing anyway. And you know who the winner really is when it's all said and done.
This other crap is just a waste of tires and fast cars. Take it back to Japan.

Thank you. I had thought of pointing this out earlier, but really, drifting on pavement is just so stupid that it really shouldn't need to be explained.

dirt track racing is a good time.
It's quite popular in my neck of the woods.
again though, there's a winner, and it can't be argued who came in first.

if yer not first, yer last!

[dphillips]

Second place is the first loser baby!
:D
Any way, we've gone completely off topic now. Maybe someone should start a thread on drifting and why they think it's a sport....... NOT!
