Hulk Hogan turned into a Good Samaritan Sunday night after he witnessed a car crash in Tampa.
The following day, on Facebook, the wrestling legend’s new wife, Sky Daily, shared a TMZ article reporting that after dinner, they saw a car flip in front of them.
Daily writes that Hogan, along with his friend Jake Rask, sprung into action, rescuing the teenage driver by removing her from the vehicle.
”By all appearances, she was unscathed, just really rattled, which is an absolute miracle!” said Daily’s post that included photos of her and Hogan on the side of the road. A picture shows the little red car on its roof.
On his own X account, Hogan, 70, gave more details, explaining to his 2-million-plus followers the “crazy part” of the story. Because he didn’t have a knife to puncture the driver’s airbag, he said he used a ballpoint pen from Indian Rocks Christian School to puncture it.

It “came in really handy to pot the bags,” said the WWE icon’s post. “Thank you God, all is well even now. Amen, HH.”
Sources with direct knowledge of the incident told TMZ that a car swerved across the lanes to the exit and clipped another car, which is the one that flipped.
The Tampa Police Department confirmed to Fox 13 that the crash occurred on the Veterans Expressway at Exit 2A toward Clearwater.
