CLEARWATER - Professional wrestling star Hulk Hogan's son and another young man were seriously injured in a car crash Sunday evening in Clearwater.
Driver Nick Bollea, 17, also known as Nick Hogan, and a passenger had to be extracted from the crumpled Toyota Celica Supra.
Officials said both were taken by air to Bayfront Medical Center, where the passenger was reported in critical condition. Family members gathered at the hospital late Sunday, but reporters were kept at a distance.
Nick Bollea's injuries were not immediately described, but Wayne Shelor, Clearwater Police Department spokesman, said he was less seriously injured than his passenger.
The bright yellow car was traveling eastbound on Court Street about 7:30 p.m. when it hit the median, Shelor said.
Dennis Balila, who was in the yard of a nearby apartment complex, said he heard a loud screech and then saw the car flying backward.
Bollea's car skidded about 25 yards, spun around and crashed, trunk-first into a median palm tree, Shelor said.
Hulk Hogan arrived on the scene flanked by three Clearwater police officers, Balila said. For about 30 minutes, he went back and forth between the car and ambulance as the two young men were cut free, Balila said.
