The former WWE wrestler sprang into action after witnessing a teenage girl's car flip after another car clipped her in Tampa, Florida.

Former WWE Wrestler Hulk Hogan was praised as a hero after he and a friend sprung into action and rescued a 17-year-old girl trapped inside a flipped vehicle after a traffic accident in Tampa, Florida.

Hogan managed to save the teen by using a ballpoint pen to puncture the deployed airbag that kept her lodged inside the car, which was completely upside down.


Fortunately, nobody was harmed.

According to TMZ Sports, the retired wrestler and actor was with his wife Sky Daily and friend Jake Rask when they witnessed the car ahead of them flipping over.

Daily posted about Sunday's incident in a Facebook post, sharing:

"Last night, after we left dinner in Tampa, we saw a car flip in front of us! I truly admire my husband @hulkhogan and our good buddy @jakerask for springing into action, puncturing the girls airbag, and getting her quickly out of the car."
"By all appearances, she was unscathed, just really rattled, which is an absolute miracle!"

The media outlet reported that the accident was due to a car swerving across multiple lanes at the last minute to avoid missing an exit and clipping the car in the process, causing it to flip over and tumble.

Hogan took to social media to talk about the handy tool that aided him in his heroic endeavor.

The 70-year-old Hogan Knows Best star shared on X (formerly Twitter):

"The crazy part about the teenager that flipped her car was that without a knife to puncture the airbags to get her out, a Indian Rocks Christian ballpoint pen came in really handy to pot the bags."
"Thank you God, all is well even now, Amen HH"

Fans were in awe of their almighty good Samaritan.





Fellow do-gooder Jake Rask also weighed in on the potentially life-threatening crisis and told Fox 13:

"We are just glad she’s OK, and God put us there at the right time."

Well done, Team Hogan.
