Van Hammer was later pulled from the April WrestleCon. PWInsider reports that a court date has been set for him for Wednesday, February 26 in Palm Beach County Court at 9:00 am.

The Palm Beach Post reports that police estimated Hildreth was traveling 58 mph in a 35 mph zone. The five-year-old victim was admitted to the Delray Medical Center as a trauma patient and is suffering from “internal injuries and road rash.”
