MIAMI - A yellow Lamborghini reportedly owned by Terry G. Bollea, better known as Hulk Hogan, caught fire Saturday on Bay Harbor Islands. There were no injuries reported.

Information was sketchy about the circumstances leading to Hogans' expensive car catching fire along the 96th Street causeway. The extend of damage to the VT model is unknown.

Bay Harbor Islands police said the driver was a juvenile and the law prohibits the releases of his name. It's unclear if the teen is related to Hogan.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue officials would only say they responded to a car fire on Saturday afternoon, but declined to disclose any other details.

Efforts to reach the Hogan family were unsuccessful.

Hogan, who first gained notoriety as one of the superstars of professional wrestling, is currently starring in a reality show called Hogan Knows Best based on his family's recent move to Miami Beach.

Hogan, his wife, Linda, and teenage daughter and son, Brooke and Nick, recently moved into a $12 million home at 2900 North Bay Rd.

Hogan Knows Best airs Thursday nights on VH1.
