Supra crash
Nick was involved in a serious accident in Clearwater, Florida, on the evening of August 26, 2007. Nick and three members of the pit crew for his drifting team[4] were using two of his father's cars — a yellow Toyota Supra[15] and a silver Dodge Viper — to travel to a steakhouse when the single-vehicle crash occurred at Court St. and Missouri Ave., near downtown Clearwater. The yellow Supra, which Nick had been driving in the outside lane,[16] fishtailed and spun across the road, crashing into the median strip and into a palm tree. The impact of the collision "destroyed the entire car".[9] The posted speed limit on that stretch of road was 40 mph, but a reconstruction of the crash by police shows that the Supra was traveling "in excess of 60 mph".[16] Danny Jacobs — the pit crew member driving the silver Viper — told police that the speed of the two cars was "not more than 70".[16] Barry Lawrence, his passenger, said that the supra was traveling “at or near 100 miles per hour” when it crashed. "[17]
After the crash, Nick told medical workers[16] that wet roads were the cause of his crash. Viper passenger and pit crew member Barry Lawrence told police that they were "speeding around" and added that Nick and Danny "always drive like that."[16]
After the crash, Jacobs and Lawrence drove to the Bollea family residence to inform Nick's father of the crash. They then returned to the scene of the accident, where they were interviewed by police.[16] Nick and his passenger, 22-year-old John Graziano, were flown to Bayfront Medical Center in St. Petersburg, Florida. Nick was released from care on 27 August and said to be "OK".[18] Graziano, a U.S. Marine[9] and a former member of Nick's pit crew,[5] was not wearing a seatbelt.[15] The eye and brain injuries he sustained are expected to leave him in a nursing home the rest of his life.[19]

Wow, TEAM DRIFTING DIPSHIT.
Seeing that makes me want to kick that guy in the balls all over again.
As for Nick's passenger, Mr. Graziano, that is a true tragedy. Go ahead and buckle up, everyone.....especially when you're blasting down wet roads at 100+ with a can't drive-ass moron at the wheel.

I hope he gets banned from driving for at least 2 years and goes to jail for at least a month. He could have killed someone, but why wasn't the passenger wearing a seatbelt. Thats just retarded.

100%While I didn't think I was invincible or anything, I was certainly overconfident. Not anymore...
Should rename the thread to: Police remind us of how much of a dumbass Nick Hogan is. Hopefully he learns a lesson, though I doubt he will....
