(CNN) -- A high-speed car accident in Florida has left the teenage son of wrestling star Hulk Hogan seriously injured and a companion in critical condition late Sunday, police said.

An image from the ambulance of a person injured in a car accident involving Hulk Hogan's son.

Nick Bollea, 17, was the driver of a Toyota Supra that went out of control while driving at a "high rate of speed" about 7:30 p.m. Sunday, said Wayne Shelor, a spokesman for the Clearwater police in Clearwater, Florida.

The car "inexplicably left the roadway," jumped across a raised median and slammed into a palm tree just east of downtown, Shelor said.

"It destroyed the car," he said.

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.

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 Linda and daughter Brooke regularly appear on the show.

One episode documented the son's interest in a type of high-speed car racing known as "drifting."

Shelor said there was no evidence of drag racing or "drifting" in Sunday's wreck.

Police said Bollea -- known to viewers as "Nick Hogan" -- was not as seriously hurt as his passenger, who was listed as critical.

Shelor said the wreck forced police to shut down mile-long Court Street, the main east-west road through central Clearwater, as they investigated the accident.

"I will have this road closed for a minimum of four hours," he said. "It was a spectacular wreck."

Quoted for truth.

[boxvic]

Drifting isn't high speed racing...

And, not to sound mean or anything, I've been waiting for something like this to happen. From watching Hogan Knows Best, Nick seemed to be what I consider an automotive risk thrill seeker.

I'm going to come right out and say it:

Fuck Nick Hogan.

"Drifting" is fucking retarded.
If you want to fucking race, quit being the backyarder version of a racecar driver and fucking hit the track.

CLEARWATER, Fla. - Hulk Hogan's son was released from the hospital Monday, a day after a car crash that critically injured his passenger, authorities said. A Toyota Supra driven by Hogan's 17-year-old son, Nick Bollea, was traveling at a high rate of speed at about 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Clearwater Police spokesman Wayne Shelor said. Bollea lost control and hit a raised median. The car flipped around, and the back end hit a palm tree. Police identified Bollea's passenger as 22-year-old John J. Graziano of Dunedin. He remained in critical condition Monday at Bayfront Medical Center, a hospital spokeswoman said. The crash occurred on SR 60, which is a main drag through downtown Clearwater. Alcohol isn't believed to have played a part in the crash. Shelor said the crash remains under investigation. Bollea appears on VH1's "Hogan Knows Best" with his professional wrestler-father, his mother and sister.

Jeez, talk about a flashy color. Anyway, most 16-year-olds haven’t had enough practice yet to become a pro drifter. [Laughs] Let’s just say I have a terrible driving record. Uh-oh. Looks like someone has a story to tell. In my silver Viper, I was driving from Miami to Tampa. I got pulled over going 107 [mph] and the guy let me off. He’s like, “Hey, I know who you are, just keep going, ya know.” Dude, I got back on the road and two minutes later I get pulled over going 113 [mph]. Another highway patrol from the same county said, “I just heard on the radio that my buddy pulled you over and let you go. I’ma let you go this time. It’s your second warning. You get pulled over again, you’re probably going to go to jail.” Three minutes later, [I was] doing 123 [mph] in a 50 [mph zone]. The guy is like, “Hey, I just heard you got pulled over twice in the last 10 minutes. I got to write you a ticket. http://www.rides-mag.com/online/?p=770

Cohen would not say why. 17-year-old Bollea is under investigation for a crash in Clearwater that injured his friend John Graziano. No charges have been filed against Bollea for the August 26 crash. 22-year old Graziano, who just returned from Iraq, remains in critical condition.

Nick Hogan Posts Graziano's Condition -- on Supra Site Nick Hogan has been providing updates on the condition of his passenger in his August 26 Supra crash -- on the Supraforums.com website. Known on the site as Supraman111, Nick reported on Sept. 16: "john is expected to make a full recovery its just a slow process for him to wake up because he was in a medically induced coma by a drug called pentabarb which takes weeks to wear off which is why the wake up process is is so slow. his entire body is perfect , he just hit his head." On Sept. 7, Nick wrote: "everyone please drive safe and wear your seatbelts, i had mine on and only broke my wrist, john did not and he is in a far worse stae than i am. thank u for the support -nick hogan/bollea"

MEDIA: Nick Hogan's injured friend on life support...will require lifelong care (People.com) Posted by Mike Informer Nick Hogan's Injured Friend on Life Support TUESDAY OCTOBER 09, 2007 01:20 PM EDT By Stephen M. Silverman John Graziano and Nick Hogan Photo by: Splash News Online The young Marine just back from Iraq who was critically injured in the Aug. 26 car crash that involved wrestler Hulk Hogan's son Nick will require lifelong care, according to court documents. John Graziano's mother, Debra Graziano, has legally petitioned a Florida court to permit her to assume guardianship of the 22-year-old, who remains in Bayfront Medical Center, the St. Petersburg Times reports. Citing court papers, the paper reports that the most Graziano can hope for is to open and shut his eyes periodically. He was a passenger in 17-year-old Nick Bollea's car when it careened off the road and struck a 25-ft.-tall palm tree in downtown Clearwater, Fla., police said. The papers also state that Graziano was not wearing a seat belt. Police continue to investigate the accident, and no charges have been filed. Friend Described as Comatose A nurse hired by the court filed a report on Sept. 19 that described Graziano as comatose and on life support, and also said he may have suffered a seizure, says the Times. Debra Graziano – who is separated from John's father, Edward Graziano – was given emergency temporary guardianship on Sept. 27, permitting her to seek military benefits on behalf of her son. Edward Graziano, meanwhile, is contesting her request and seeks to have an independent guardian for John, says his lawyer, Steven Hearn.
