The daughter of former wrestler Hulk Hogan has been involved in a car accident in Clearwater, Fla.
The Florida Highway Patrol says 20-year-old Brooke Bollea collided with another vehicle on the Bayside Bridge on Sunday, closing northbound lanes for hours. No one was injured in the crash.
Hulk Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, was on the scene but the FHP report says he was not in the vehicle at the time of the accident.
FHP says the other driver, 19-year-old Ronald Gallmon, attempted to change lanes while speeding and lost control of his vehicle, colliding head-on with Brooke Bollea's Mercedes. The Mercedes had severe front-end damage and was towed from the scene. No charges have been filed.
The Hogan's are no strangers to car accidents. A serious car accident in November of 2007 landed 17-year old Nick Hogan in jail. He's currently serving an 8-month sentence in Pinellas County after pleading no contest to felony reckless driving that led to a car crash in Clearwater, which left his friend John Graziano critically injured.
Authorities said Nick was street racing his father's 1998 Toyota Supra when he struck a curb, spun in traffic and slammed into a palm tree. Graziano, who now needs lifetime medical care, is a former Marine who served in Iraq, Graziano was not wearing a seat belt and suffered a broken skull and other severe injuries.
Bollea, who was not seriously hurt, had alcohol in his system at the time of the crash. Authorities cited him for being a driver under 21 operating a vehicle with a blood-alcohol level of .02 percent or higher and having illegal window tinting.
