In Tampa/Clearwater area of Florida, a 17-year-old girl recently found herself in a terrifying situation – her car had flipped over on a highway, leaving her trapped and disoriented.
However, fate had a surprise in store for her: wrestling legend Hulk Hogan.
The incident, which took place on a Sunday night, began when a car – in an irresponsible attempt to make an exit – swerved across lanes and clipped another vehicle, causing it to overturn.
This scene unfolded right before Hulk Hogan and his friend Jake, who were driving nearby.
Without hesitation, Hogan and Jake – who is also a Marine skilled in emergency response – leaped into action.
They rushed to the aid of the young girl, with Jake deflating the car’s airbag to help her escape the wreckage.
Hulk Hogan’s wife, Sky, took to social media to share more 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 girl’s airbag, and getting her quickly out of the car.By all appearances, she was unscathed, just really rattled, which is an absolute miracle!
Hulk also shared more about the incident:
The crazy part about the teenager that flipped her car was that without a knife to puncture the airbags to get her out ,a Indian Rocks Christian ballpoint pen came in really handy to pot the bags,thank you God,all is well even now,Amen HH
