Cops: Hogan Was Drinking Before Crash

Posted Nov 7th 2007 10:05AM by TMZ Staff

Cops have concluded Nick Hogan was drinking the night he crashed his Supra, severely injuring his best friend.

Clearwater PD today released details of their investigation into the August 26 crash. In addition to being arrested for reckless driving involving serious bodily injury, cops also cited Hogan for use of a motor vehicle in the commission of a felony, a person under the age of 21 operating a vehicle with a breath-alcohol level of .02 or higher and having an Illegal window tint.

Police also concluded that although Hogan and a second car were racing right before the crash, the driver of the second car was not a direct cause of the accident. That driver has also been ticketed for reckless driving.

Hogan was going 60 mph in a 40 mph zone when he lost control and hit a tree.

1. My son and nephew were in seperate cars back in January 2006, they were both charged with racing on a highway. My son was bayflighted to Bayfront Medical Center in St. Peterburg, Fl., where he remained in NICU for 2 months, went to another floor for rehab, to this day he has major medical problems. Here in Manatee County they both received a 1 year suspension of their drivers lisence and had to do 5 weekends of jail and 50 communtiy service hours.

3. Isn't the legal drinking age 21? As in the breath-alcohol level for someone under the age of 21 should be .00?

7. If Hulk wasn't so wrapped up in his daughter's pathetic "singing" career and scaring off guys to date her, maybe he could have taken more time to be involved in his son's life.

12. This little punk better get alot of time in prison. Right now Im sure Mama Hogan is crying her eyes out with the mascara running down her face sceaming "My baby, my baby! They are not sending my baby to jail!" And Im sure Hulk is sayin "Dont worry Linda, I'll go back to wrestling to earn the money to keep Nicky out of jail."

15. My father was killed in an accident involving a young person and am happy to hear that this young person is going to be charged. It's so hard to watch rich and spoiled youngsters get away with everything in California.

I hope he gets the appropriate sentence that any "ordinary" person without the financial means he has (through his father).

God bless the families as they go through this painful ordeal. I feel so sorry for John.

WHY don't people wear their seatbelts? (No.....I am not blaming John for the accident. He did "contribute to the extent of his injuries possibly by not having a seat belt on.)
