The following is from CNN.com: (CNN) -- The teenage son of wrestling star Hulk Hogan and a companion were seriously injured in a high-speed car accident in his hometown of Clearwater, Fla., Sunday evening, a police spokesman said. Nick Bollea was the driver of a Toyota Supra that went out of control and slammed into a palm tree while headed out of downtown Clearwater at a "high rate of speed" about 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Clearwater police spokesman Wayne Shelor said. "It destroyed the car," he said. Hogan, one of the top professional wrestlers of the 1980s and 1990s, is now featured in the VH1 reality show "Hogan Knows Best." His son, wife and daughter regularly appear on the show. A helicopter took Bollea and his passenger, whose identity was not immediately released, to a hospital in nearby St. Petersburg after paramedics removed them from the wreckage, Shelor said. "They're both down there. Nick's father (Hulk Hogan_ is down there," he said. (Posted 9:35 p.m.) Apparently it's pretty serious, from what I've read apon. Hopefully they're both gonna be OK. Kids and their speeding, though, eh?

Not to sound harsh here, but they deserve what they got. If they are speeding down a road which most likely has a speed limit, not got many details so i can't say for sure. But say it has a 40 MPH speed limit or even 60 MPH and they are going down it at 80 MPH or more then they deserve what they got. When they are in high speed crashes they generally are going way over the speed limit, and personally i don't hold much smpathy for them. THey are old enough, and likely know enough to realize that speed can kill, and not only for them but for pedestrians.
Now by no way am i coming over here, or trying to as a spoil sport, but i'm sure anyone here knows they shouldn't go down roads at excessive speeds as it can cause crashes, deaths etc. I hope they pull through as losing family members is a hard thing, but personally if they went at excessive speeds and destroyed a car that just shows how fast they must have been going. So as i said hope they get better, but i don't hold much, if any sympathy for them as doing what they did, they should have known what could have happened.
So my sympathy goes out to Hulk Hogan and his family, but not to the individual who was driving for my reasons stated, as he should have known better.
