“I have immense respect for my husband, @hulkhogan, and our close friend, @jakerask, for promptly stepping in, puncturing the airbag, and swiftly extracting the young woman from the car. Thankfully, she seems unhurt, albeit understandably shaken, which is nothing short of miraculous!”
As reported by TMZ, the driver involved in the incident was a 17-year-old girl who tried to change lanes in an attempt to make an upcoming exit she was about to miss. Unfortunately, during this maneuver, she accidentally collided with another car, leading to her vehicle flipping over completely.
Hogan and his friend, Jake Rask, who is thought to be a Marine, acted swiftly to come to the rescue of the teenager.
The wrestling star also shared details about the incident on social media, mentioning that he was able to deploy the airbag by using a pen he had on hand.
“The astonishing aspect of the teenager flipping her car was that, lacking a knife to puncture the airbags, an Indian Rocks Christian ballpoint pen proved incredibly useful to deploy the bags. Thank you, God; all is well even now. Amen. HH.”

One user expressed, “Just picture being rescued by the Hulkster! That’s so awesome. God bless you!”
Another jokingly commented, “Imagine me half out of it, seeing the Hulkster in an NWO shirt, saying ‘Give me your hand, brother.’ I would have been like, ‘What year is it?!‘”
“That would have been crazy. Imagine thinking you’re about to meet your end, and then… ‘I got you, brother, I’ve taken my vitamins,‘” a third person commented, referencing his iconic quote emphasizing the importance of saying prayers and eating vitamins.
Another person added, “God bless you, Hulk. May Jesus always be with you and your family. You were a hero to me when I was a kid growing up, and never listen to any haters.”
