News update:
Nick Bollea, was released on Monday from a hospital in Clearwater,
Florida, and is now recovering at home, one day after a car wreck
left the 17-year-old seriously injured and another male passenger
clinging to his life. Wayne Shelor, a spokesman for the Clearwater
Police Department, said Bollea was behind the wheel of a yellow
Toyota Supra and driving at a high rate of speed at approximately
7:30 p.m. Sunday when he lost control on a four-lane highway in
downtown Clearwater. The car's rear tires jumped a raised median,
sending the vehicle spinning into a palm tree. Firefighters on the
scene subsequently extracted the men from the tangle of metal, and
they were treated on the scene by paramedics before being taken by
helicopter to Bayfront Medical Center in nearby St. Petersburg.
Bollea's injuries were described as non-life threatening, while his
friend, 22-year-old John Graziano, was listed in critical condition.
Local station Tampa Bay News 10 interviewed witnesses who claimed
the Hogan Knows Best star was racing a silver Dodge Viper at the
time of the crash. However, Shelor declined to speculate on the
cause of the horrific accident, pending the outcome of an
investigation. Authorities have also ruled out alcohol as a possible
factor. No charges have been filed. |
