Hogan Crash Victim's Horrific Injuries Shown On Video

The public relations battle between the Hogan and the Graziano families has taken a new twist, with the release of home videos of Nick Bollea's car crash victim.

John Graziano was left permanently brain damaged after Bollea crashed his car into a tree last summer.

Hulk Hogan's 17-year-old son is currently serving an eight-month prison sentence at Florida's Pinellas County Jail, after pleading no contest to a felony of reckless driving.

On the newly released tapes - aired by CNN's Nancy Grace on -  23-year-old Graziano is shown from his hospital bed, his injuries pixilated due to their severity.

Grace comments as the video rolls, revealing Graziano's day-to-day life, "I've been on a lot of crash wards and rehab centres to meet with victims and even now this is how wrenching it is to see what he is going through."

Graziano's parents spoke out in May, furious at Bollea's lack of remorse, after hearing him discuss plans to win an early release from jail in taped telephone conversations that were leaked online.

The family also blasted the Bolleas for trying to cash in on their grief - by turning Nick's prison stint into a money-spinning reality TV show.

On Monday, threatening calls to Hulk Hogan and his family - believed to have been made by the victim's brother Frank - were played on a US radio station.
