Wrestling icon Hulk Hogan has spoken out about his teenage son's recent car wreck, admitting tearfully he felt sure no one had survived the crash.

The larger-than-life star's son Nick lost control of his father's Toyota Supra on a Clearwater, Florida highway last month (Aug07). The vehicle flipped at high speed and collided with a palm tree.

The teen and his passenger, John Graziano, were air-lifted to a nearby hospital. Hogan's son was released a few days later. His pal is still fighting for his life.

And Hogan admits he started mourning the death of his son after seeing the crash on the way to a dinner with his son and friends.

He says, "When I saw the wreck, I didn't think anybody was alive. I thought no one could have lived through a wreck like that.

"As I was going down our normal route to the restaurant, I saw this yellow car and it happened to be twisted. There were ambulances there and police were there, and... it was my car."

Hogan reveals his son is still nursing a collection of injuries, and has been holding a bedside vigil next to his friend, an Iraq War veteran, since he was released from the hospital.

He adds, "He's got a broken arm, some broken ribs, some neck problems and some stuff wrong with his knees but he's hanging in there. He's living at the hospital with John.

"He's going to be OK and John's going to be OK and we're going to move forward."
