(CNN) -- A high-speed car accident in Florida has left the teenage son of wrestling star Hulk Hogan seriously injured and a companion in critical condition late Sunday, police said.

TV footage shows a person injured in Nick Hogan's car crash being treated in an ambulance.

Nick Bollea, 17, was the driver of a Toyota Supra that went out of control while driving at a "high rate of speed" about 7:30 p.m. Sunday, said Wayne Shelor, a spokesman for the Clearwater police in Clearwater, Florida.

As a mom of three sons (24, 20 and 19)I am so thankful that so far my boys have made it through life. Cars and teens are not a good combination.

Prayers for recovery.

Anyone who lives through that has an angel on their shoulder.

Best wishes to the Hogans.

I hope that Hulk Hogan’s son heals, and his companion in the accident. As a Parent, I am not sure why anyone would give a 17 year old a fast sports car. I know it is a free country, but to me it is like adding gasoline to a fire.

rich kid, famous family. thoughts of invincibility perhaps?

hope he recovers. on the show he is always talking about cars. seems to know a lot about them, too. hope alcohol wasn't involved.

One report this morning says that Nick was released but that the passenger, John Graziano, is in critical condition.

Teenage boys do not come equipped with a sense of their own mortality. They have to acquire it. You pray they acquire it without loss of life or limb.

I remember when my son FINALLY go it! I prayed a prayer of thanksgiving. Every time my kids left the house I prayed and couldn’t relax until they got home. I more or less forced them to attend the funerals of 7 classmates who were killed in a single accident.

Oh my gosh. It’s a wonder they weren’t killed. If that car would have hit the tree head on those boys would probably have been killed. Prayers go out for both of them to have a complete recovery.

More than likely the Hogan males are into machisimo. Maleness is important......being taught to control it is more important.

This smashed-in car looks even worse than the Princess Di car, if I remember correctly. It's a wonder the two kids survived at all.

It is not all about maleness, and fast cars, it is about a 17 year old having a car, he did not work for, and his total irresponsiblity in damaging the car and endangering his life and his friends. It is a miracle they both passengers survived that crash, and I am sure it is a lesson they will never forget, the lesson could of been much more costly.
