Hogan's Son Caught Speeding Three Times Before Crash

(andPOP) - Wrestler HULK HOGAN's teenage son NICK had been caught speeding three times in the 12 months before Sunday's (26Aug07) horrific car accident that left him and his friend hospitalised.

Since September 2006, Nick Bollea has received points on his driving licence for travelling at 115 miles(185 kilometres)-per-hour in a 70 miles(113 kilometres)-per-hour speed limit zone; 57 miles(92 kilometres)-per-hour in a 30 miles(48 kilometres)-per-hour zone; and 106 miles(171 kilometres)-per-hour in a 70 miles-per-hour zone, reports website TMZ.com.

According to police, the wrestling superstar's son was driving a Toyota Supra at high speed in Clearwater, Florida on Sunday when he lost control and struck a palm tree. Bollea and his friend John Graziano were flown by Medivac helicopters to a hospital in St Petersburg.

Bollea has since been discharged after being treated for minor injuries, but Graziano remains in a critical condition.
