Nick Hogan Blames Victim of his Drunk Driving for Injuries

Everyone heard about the car crash Nick Hogan, of the reality show “Hogan Knows Best,” was in over the summer. His friend John Graziano, a former marine, was in the car with him at the time, and has been in a coma due to serious injuries from the crash. Although the accident occurred August 26th, only now is Nick Hogan being prosecuted for his actions. Two days Nick was arrested and is being charged with felony reckless driving and underage drinking.
Nick and the rest of the Hogan family issued a statement to the public about the accident just yesterday. Instead of taking responsibility for Nick’s actions, the family stated that the reason for John Graziano’s injuries was due to the fact that he was not wearing a seatbelt and Nick was wearing his. As well as this, they are blaming the road conditions that night, saying the road was wet and that the accident was not due to speeding. This hard to believe considering Nick Hogan is known for street racing. The Hogan’s have claimed they want everyone to remember to wear their seatbelts. They claim they are going to get involved in public awareness to remind the public of this. Although it would be great if they actually did raise public awareness on this issue, it is no where near as important as raising public awareness of drinking and driving. The statement was clearly made to get the blame off Nick for the accident. There were no apologies made towards John Graziano or his family, although Nick was found to have alcohol in his system at the time of the accident. It is just horrible that the Hogan’s are blaming the innocent victim of a drunk driving and speeding accident for his own injuries.
For those who watch “Hogan Knows Best” they see how the Hogan’s react when the daughter goes on dates. They are so worried about Brooke having a boyfriend or going to a party, they allow Nick to get away with anything. They encourage his partying, as well as going out with girls, and are now allowing him to get away with drinking and driving. The Graziano family should sue the Hogan’s for the injuries their son has incurred. It is sad that Nick, who is not doing anything with his life but living off his parents and street racing for a hobby, has walked away from a sever accident and his friend, a former marine, has been in a coma for the past 3 months.
