Back in August 2007, the son of famed WWE Wrestler Hulk Hogan crashed his modded yellow Toyota Supra in Clearwater, Florida while allegedly street racing. Nick "Hogan" Bollea suffered minor injuries, but his friend riding shotgun at the time, John Graziano, suffered serious injuries including head trauma. Graziano now resides (and likely will for life) at a veteran's hospital in Haley, VA. Since then, Bollea has been charged with felony reckless driving involving serious bodily harm, as well as a host of other offenses including being underage while driving drunk.

The pictures we published from the scene that night show a totaled Supra, but it was dark and all one could see was a twisted yellow mass of metal with Supra headlights. We didn't fully appreciate how lucky both guys are to be alive until 20 minutes ago when we clicked through dozens of photos taken by the Clearwater, FL police department. They include pictures of the car both at the scene and in an evidence hanger, as well as shots of Bollea and Graziano in the hospital afterwards. We've assembled a batch of images in a gallery below for you, since the cops' full collection numbers in the hundreds and includes many near duplicate shots of the same thing. Thanks for the tip, felix!
