Hulk Hogan set aside his WWE tough-guy image in real life this weekend.
He came to the aid of a woman involved in a serious car accident. TMZ Sports obtained pictures of the incident.
According to reliable sources, the famous wrestler, along with his wife Sky Daily and a friend, were driving on a Tampa, FL highway on Sunday evening. They witnessed a terrible crash happening right in front of them.
A car was swerving unpredictably across lanes to make a last-minute exit it almost missed. In the process, it bumped into another car, causing it to flip over and tumble.
Upon witnessing the accident, Hulk Hogan and his friend Jake quickly pulled over. They rushed to help the shaken driver, a woman. Since they were the first on the scene, Hulk and Jake played a crucial role in getting her out of the overturned car.
Insiders tell TMZ that Jake used tools from Hulk's stash to pop the woman's airbag. Together, they unfastened her seatbelt and helped her exit the vehicle safely. Paramedics later arrived at the scene, and Hulk and his crew watched on.
According to TMZ's sources, the woman seemed to be alright in the end, and Hulk Hogan was glad to lend a hand.
It was pretty scary, but thankfully, everyone turned out okay in the end. You can imagine the woman who got rescued was probably really surprised to have Hulk Hogan as her hero. Usually, he's the bad guy in the wrestling ring.
It turns out he's not just a tough guy in the ring; when needed, he's super nice and more. Good job, buddy!
