Hulk Hogan: Nick is Going to be OK
Hulk Hogan says that his son, Nick Bollea, is moving forward after the car crash that almost took the teen’s life last week.
The 17-year-old son of the professional wrestler was discharged Monday from a Florida hospital after he slammed his Toyota Supra into a tree.
Bollea was driving at a "high rate of speed" on August 26 when he lost control of his vehicle, which "inexplicably left the roadway," jumped a median and crashed into a palm tree, said Wayne Shelor, a spokesman for the Clearwater, Florida, police.
In an interview set to air September 4, Hogan tells The Insider, "When I saw the wreck I didn't think anyone was alive. I never saw anything like that. I thought no one could have lived through that.
According to CNN, Bollea's passenger in the crash, John Graziano, 22, remains in critical condition at Bayfront Medical Center in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Hogan denies rumors that his son had been drag racing at the time of the accident. "It's just so unfair. There's not a bad bone in my son Nick's body, the most important thing to me was from all the eyewitnesses and from everyone who saw the accident, was that they were not racing."
Hogan continues: "Nick's car was the only car involved. The media jumped on my son. I tell my son to stay strong because at the end of the day when all the facts are in, it was an accident."
The wrestling icon also confirms that drugs were not a factor in the accident. "There wasn't alcohol or drugs involved. The police said everybody looked straight as an arrow, thank god for that," he tells The Insider.
Hogan adds: “Nick is doing well, he's got a broken arm and a broken rib and some stuff wrong with his knees but he's hanging in there. He's going to be ok and we're going to move forward."
