[The Ego]

Credit Wrestlezone..... Details are sketchy right now, but Nick Bollea aka Nick Hogan was in an auto accident in Downtown Clearwater, FL this evening around 7:30EST. The passenger is in critical condition. Nick Hogan is in serious condition with a broken arm and head injuries. Firefighters had to extract Bollea and his passenger, whose identity was not immediately released, from the wreckage. Both were flown to a hospital in nearby St. Petersburg, Florida, Shelor said. "They're both down there. Nick's father is down there," he said. Police said Bollea -- known to viewers as "Nick Hogan" -- was not as seriously hurt as his passenger, who was listed as critical. "I will have this road closed for a minimum of four hours," he said. "It was a spectacular wreck." said the police chief.

There isn't much info out there but they say that Nick is in serious condition... Even if he was speeding/racing... You don't want to see stuff like this happen. very sad, hopefully he will be alright for his family's sake.

Hopefully he is okay, but if he was speeding then he chuffin deserves it, the speed limit is there for a reason...IT SAVES LIVES YU DUM ****...You lot know if this was some idiot on the street who did this you would be thinking "serves you right", and you all know part of you is thinking that right now... Kids these days go around thinking they are invincible, yet they cry saying it aint fair when it goes wrong...The sad thing is, some little fool will go out and try that tonight cos its the cool thing to do, not be ready for it and probably wrap himself around a lamp post... I hope he is okay, but i hope to god he gets enough of a scare to stop him doing it and the authorities do something about it, ie PUNISH HIM FOR SPEEDING AND DOING THIS ****...

Nick Hogan released [url]http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/TV/08/27/hogan.crash/index.html[/url] [QUOTE]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. 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 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 had to 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. No charges have been filed, according to Clearwater police. Hogan, one of the top professional wrestlers of the 1980s and 1990s, is featured in the VH1 reality show "Hogan Knows Best." His son, wife Linda and daughter Brooke regularly appear on the show. Nick Bollea is known to viewers as "Nick Hogan." [/QUOTE]
