Nick Hogan in Serious Car Accident

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

UPDATE: 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.

31. I truly do pray for Nick and the family. But I remember an episode of "Hogan" where he was encouraged "the faster the better". I really believe it is another case of young (rich) people thinking they are immortale.

37. I've seen this idiot drive, and I'm not surprised at all. At least he didn't kill some poor family.

38. Oh, man -- that's terrible .... I hope he will be ok.

Nick seems to be by far the coolest --- and 'normal' acting of the Hogan family. He doesn't seem to be part of much of the ridiculous cheesey scripted scenarios with the cheese, but rather it seems he's just doing his own thing and would actually prefer if the cameras weren't in the house and in his face.

Prayers and good, healing vibes out to Nick his friend/passenger who was in the car with him.

43. Dellor - Every time I start thinking that maybe you could be a decent guy, you find a way to change my mind. Seems the media portrayal is accurate.

45. I remember seeing Nick, his sister, father and mother at the Barne & Noble in Clearwater. Hulk was surrounded by kids. I remember looking at Hulk's kids thinking: "These kids are spoiled." At that time he was just a teen driving a yellow Hummer.

I guess these coming days or months are going to be a time for Hulk and his family to rethink their stardom, the Osbornesque sideshow, and maybe consider the real basics of family life - which isn't spoiling your kids with all the toys you had to do without as a child.

Best of healing.
