Hulk Hogan came to the rescue of a teenager whose car flipped in a horror crash.
The WWE Hall of Famer became a real life hero over the weekend as he had to think fast and leap into action to save a 17-year-old girl who got caught in a bad wreck on a highway in Clearwater, Florida.
As reported by TMZ, the 70-year-old retired wrestler was out of a drive with his wife Sky Daily and a friend called Jake – a marine – when they saw the crash in front of them.
The incident is said to have occurred when a car ‘erratically’ swerved across three lanes to avoid missing an exit.
It then clipped another car, which allegedly ‘flipped over then tumbled’, with Hogan, Sky and Jake immediately pulling over to help the driver.
A source told the outlet that the woman in question was a minor, and she has been left ‘rattled’ by the accident.

The trio were the first on the scene, with an insider adding that Hogan and his friend helped her out of the car.
Jake is said to have popped the airbag using some tools the wrestling legend had to hand, and then they both unbuckled her seatbelt and heled her safely out of the car.
Once paramedics arrived on the scene, the trio watched on, until they saw that the woman ‘appeared to be okay’.
Hogan played the Good Samaritan just weeks after getting in touch with his spiritual side by getting baptised alongside his new wife, Sky, in a ceremony in Florida.

The couple were all smiles in their matching white outfits as they were submerged into a pool of water at the Indian Rocks Baptist Church.
Earlier last year, the WWE star – who has been open about his numerous injuries over the years – shared how he had accepted Christ as a teenager but had recently gone on a spiritual journey saying he was now ‘one with God’.
Sharing a video of the baptism on Instagram, Hulk wrote: ‘Total surrender and dedication to Jesus is the greatest day of my life. No worries, no hate, no judgment… only love!’
