So, here’s some news that comes rather expected. Nick Hogan has turned himself into the Clearwater police Wednesday morning for reckless driving that caused devastating bodily injury to his friend, John Graziano. Nick was going 60 mph in a 40 mph zone when he hit a tree. Sadly, John’s brain injuries are so serious that doctors believe he will need special care for the rest of his life. They also released information stating that Nick was under the influence when the accident happened back in August. (Another piece of info that was pretty much expected.) Nick’s representative made a statement this morning stating:

“Nick and the entire Hogan Bollea family are saddened that criminal charges have been filed in regards to the tragic single car accident on August 26, 2007. Nick will meet and answer these charges in the appropriate arena ­a court of law.”

I’m sure Nick’s family is upset…I would be if it was my son. However, I can’t help but think of the episode where Nick’s dad made him carry around one of those mechanical babies that cry periodically to teach young adults what its like to be a parent. Nick lugged that baby around and it drove him nuts with its nonstop crying. He claimed that he learned from that lesson that he wouldn’t want to be a dad until he was older. I’m thinking his dear old dad is wondering just what lesson he should have been teaching his son. My guess is the Hulk would rather have a grandchild on the way compared to this issue.

I just don’t feel all that sorry for Nick. I keep thinking I should but I don’t. His friend John, and his parents, have a very hard life ahead of them and its all because of a dumb kid who chose to drink and then drive. So I’m sure the Hogan family is very upset, but they should be thankful that their son Nick is at least able to eat, speak and breath on his own.
