Hulk Hogan faced a fresh family blow last night less than three days after learning his wife is divorcing him.

Police yesterday released emergency phone calls from the night of August 26 when the star’s son, Nick Hogan Bollea, was involved in a serious crash that left his 22-year-old passenger, John Graziano, in a coma with brain injuries he is not expected to recover from.

Eyewitnesses at the scene repeatedly tell emergency service: “They were racing. They were racing.” Hulk Hogan”

Bollea has repeatedly said his 17-year-old son wasn’t racing moments before he lost control of his high-powered Toyota Supra in Clearwater, Florida. “It’s just so unfair. There’s not a bad bone in my son Nick’s body,” he has said of the crash.

Police, however, see the crash differently.

The star’s son has already had his license suspended as has been charged with third-degree felony reckless driving involving serious bodily harm, as well as use of a motor vehicle in commission of a felony, being under the age of 21 and operating a vehicle with a breath-alcohol level of 0.02 percent or higher and illegal window tints.

He faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison if convicted.

Graziano, who was not wearing a seatbelt, suffered a broken skull and has been comatose since the crash. Hogan, who was belted in at the time of impact, escaped with relatively minor injuries, including a broken arm and ribs along with neck and knee injuries.

He was treated and released from the hospital the morning after the accident. The 911 tapes off the night are one more blow for the Hogan family..

Linda Bollea, 48, filed for divorce from Terry on Wednesday but news of the split didn’t reach her 54-year-old hubby until Friday when he was contacted by a reporter on Friday to comment about the story.

Sources close to the couple have said that the marriage has been on the rocks since June and that the divorce filing was not a surprise to the Hogans or people who know the couple.

Hogan married Linda Marie in 1983. They are also parents to 19-year-old daughter Brooke Hogan.
