Hogan Family Releases Statement

Posted by ExtraTV Staff on August 27, 2007 11:04 AM


Linda Hogan has just released the following statement to "Extra" about her son Nick's dangerous Sunday crash:

“My son Nick and a friend were involved in a car accident last night. Nick suffered minor injuries and has been treated and released from the hospital.

At this time, his friend, John Graziano remains hospitalized. Nick is currently at the hospital with John and his family. His sole concern is for the well being of his friend.

On behalf of my family, we ask that your thoughts and prayers be with John and his loved ones.”

In addition, "Extra" has obtained a statement from Jim Liaw, president and co-founder of the Formula Drift series:

“Nick is a licensed Formula Drift driver but he has only competed in one Formula Drift competition all year...Formula Drift also holds its licensed drivers to the utmost professional standards and conduct at or away from our competitions.

Formula Drift is withholding any judgment at this time because we do not have all the facts of this matter.

At this time we send our best wishes and support to the Nick, his passenger and their family and friends.”

I think it is your mistake on buying him a car like that, save that for the race track not your everyday streets. I hope he gets in big time trouble for what you as parents allow this young man to drive you are just as to blame. For what he has done to that young man
his life is over and he will never be the same.

This is just another sad and disgusting display of how people with money raise spoiled brats. What is a 17 year old KID doing with a racing car that is capable of driving 200mph?!!Nick has admitted getting pulled over by police several times…(even 3 times in one day!) for going over 120 miles per hour. If a parent allows their CHILD to drive around on suburban streets in a car like that, they better be damn sure the child is responsible enough NOT to speed. I feel so horrible that his friend will now pay for the rest of his life. I dont blame Nick….he is acting like the 17 year old spoiled child he is. I blame Hulk and Linda for allowing such behavior…especially since they were aware of his speeding record. My heart goes out to that poor innocent child who will now be the victim for the rest of his life…

I have met all of the hogan family more than once. Nick although fast in a car is not any different than the kids in the area of tampa that spend there weekends at the gandy bridge street racing. yes i send my prayes and well wishes to both of the families in this tragic accident lets all remember that his is 17 and is a normal kids. yes his parents have been very successfull in many ventures in the area as well as professionally but again we were kids once and we are all guilty of driving faster sometimes then we should good luck nick and to all the hogans and to johns family also.
