Hulk Hogan helps teen girl whose car flipped in Florida multi-car crash
Hulk Hogan helped a teenage girl Sunday whose car flipped over during a multi-car crash in Florida.
A rep for Hogan, 70, confirmed the story to USA TODAY.
“It’s typical for Hulk, he has a big heart,” Hogan’s rep Linda Bose said via email. “He helps and treats people with the highest respect.”
According to the report, the wrestling legend and a friend helped the teenager get out of her car by setting off the airbags with tools Hogan had on hand.
Hogan was also with wife Sky Daily, 45, who posted to social media about the incident.
“Last night, after we left dinner in Tampa, we saw a car flip in front of us! I truly admire my husband @hulkhogan and our good buddy @jakerask for springing into action, puncturing the girls airbag, and getting her quickly out of the car. By all appearances, she was unscathed, just really rattled, which is an absolute miracle!”
TMZ, citing sources, reports a car erratically swerved across the lanes as to reach an exit but clipped another car, which flipped over.
