Nick Hogan in Serious Car Accident

Posted Aug 26th 2007 9:22PM by TMZ Staff

Nick HoganUPDATE: Nick Hogan is reportedly in serious condition, but the passenger in the car sustained more severe injuries. He is listed in critical condition.

Hulk Hogan's son, Nick, was seriously injured in a car accident tonight in Clearwater, Fla.

Law enforcement tells TMZ the accident occurred around 7:31 PM ET. According to police, a Toyota Supra, driven by Nick Bollea (Hogan's real name), was traveling at a very high rate of speed when it lost control and hit a raised median. The car was flipped around and the back end hit a palm tree. The impact, we're told, "destroyed the entire car." The two male occupants were flown by Medivac helicopter from the accident scene to a hospital in St. Petersburg. We're told both men had "very very serious" injuries.

The accident happened on Court Street, a main drag in downtown Clearwater, causing the entire street to be shut down for hours.

No 911 call was made to police. The accident was called in by an officer who rolled up right after the crash happened.

91. Oh yeah, my thoughts and prayers go out to Nick and his family as well. He is one of the only "Hollywood" children out there that seems normal. I hope that he'll be alright.

92. Oh my gosh, this Kid is out of control, probably pushing the limit, thinking he is indispensible like most teenagers and even more so because of his famous father. I sure hope is makes it, he is still a good kid being stupid with a dangerous weapon, A CAR. That family is so out there, over the top, huge position of entitlement and so kids think they are above the law. I remember one episode where the Hulkster took Nick to see what happens when you speed, obviously taught him nothing. When you have that much money you live on the edge, life becomes boring as you have everything, you need a constant HIGH which is hard to continually fulfill. His father never got hurt being body slammed, rammed into ropes, having his face punched out and never suffering, so he probably thought he would be indispensible like the old man. I hope his father really gives him a very serious consequence for this and I hope the other young man makes it, as that will be blood on his hands to live with.

94. As I said in an earlier post I hope the passenger lives.
this is horrible, Nick has been in a few previous wrecks due to the same thing.
The Lohan rule of logic would tell anyone this was going to happen.
Your trapped if a driver decides to be an idiot.
