A teenage girl in Tampa, FL is counting her blessings after being saved from a terrifying car accident from two heroic strangers who just so happened to witness the incident. It wasn't until she was rescued from her car that she realized her savior was none other than former WWE star Hulk Hogan.

According to TMZ Sports, Hogan was with his wife Sky Daily and friend Jake Rask when they saw the car get clipped by another vehicle and flip over. The men immediately jumped into rescue mode.

“Last night, after we left dinner in Tampa, we saw a car flip in front of us!" Daily recounted on social media. "I truly admire my husband Hulk Hogan and our good buddy Jake Rask for springing into action, puncturing the girl's airbag, and getting her quickly out of the car." Luckily, the driver made it out with barely a scratch. "By all appearances, she was unscathed, just really rattled, which is an absolute miracle!" Daily said.

After news spread that Hogan was the good Samaritan in question, he addressed the incident on X and revealed the tool he had to use in the moment to save her. "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 [School] ballpoint pen came in really handy to pot the bags," he said. "Thank you God, all is well."

Rask, for his part, was happy to have been there and helped out with the potentially life-saving rescue. "We are just glad she’s OK, and God put us there at the right time," he told local news outlet FOX 13.

Hopefully, the girl will now have a story to tell for the rest of her life.
