SAFETY HARBOR - Brooke Bollea, daughter of former wrestler Hulk Hogan, was involved in an automobile accident Sunday afternoon when another driver lost control of his car and clipped the front of Bollea's Mercedes, the Florida Highway Patrol said.
No one was hurt in the collision.
According to a highway patrol crash report, this is what happened about 3:49 p.m.:
Bollea, 20, and a passenger, Laura Chadwell, 23, were northbound on the Bayside Bridge's center lane. A 1997 Toyota driven by Ronald Gallmon, 19, lost control while changing lanes and began to rotate counterclockwise.
The Toyota spun into the center lane and struck the front of Bollea's 2008 Mercedes, which was then pushed into a concrete barrier wall. Witnesses told highway patrol troopers that Gallmon's Toyota was speeding.
Hulk Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, arrived at the scene with his wife, Linda Bollea, to make sure his daughter was OK.
Son Nick Bollea, 17, was involved in a car crash nine months ago that made local and national headlines. On Aug. 26, he crashed a car into a tree in Clearwater, leaving his passenger, Iraq war veteran John Graziano, with brain damage.
Nick Bollea pleaded no contest May 9 to a charge of reckless driving involving serious injury and was sentenced to eight months in jail.
