Former wrestler Hulk Hogan and his family were reportedly involved in a car accident in Clearwater, Florida earlier today.
According to Tampa's CBS affiliate, WTSP, Hogan, his estranged wife Linda and their daughter Brooke were involved in a seven-car accident that shut down the northbound lanes of the Bayside Bridge.
Although no one was seriously hurt, the Hogan's white Mercedes was damaged and towed from the scene, WSTP reported.
The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating the accident, which occurred just before 4 p.m. The Bayside Bridge was shut down for 20 minutes and later re-opened.
This was not the first car accident for the Hogan family. Son Nick, 17, was recently sentenced to 8 months in Pinellas County jail after a November car accident - where he was reportedly street racing - critically injured his friend, John Graziano.
UPDATE: According to an official Florida Highway Patrol report, Brooke Hogan was actually at the wheel of the car, and the only other person in the car was a friend of hers.
The head-on collision occurred when 19-year-old Ronald Gallman lost control of his vehicle when attempting to change lanes. He hit Hogan's car, pushing it into a concrete wall barrier.
Both cars involved sustained approximately $3,000 worth of damage. So far no charges have been filed against either drivers.
