Wife Sky Daily writing the teen girl was "unscathed, just really rattled, which was a miracle." The cause of the accident is still under investigation, according to Tampa police.
One comment online read: "Imagine flipping your car, and the first thing you hear is ‘you all right, brother?!’" – a nod to the famous wrestler, who lives in the Tampa Bay area.
Fellow Good Samaritan Jake Rask was with Hogan on Sunday night. FOX 13 spoke with him about the act of being a real-life superhero teamed up with Hulk Hogan.
He messaged us: "We are just glad she’s OK, and God put us there at the right time."
Hogan, putting his WWE expertise to good use this weekend, and as he might say, a true "brother" helping another.
