Mike Wolfe, star of American Pickers, and his girlfriend Leticia Cline were hospitalized after a serious car accident on September 12 while driving through Columbia, Tennessee. Wolfe shared on social media that they were safe but receiving treatment, adding that Cline remained in the hospital but was expected to recover.
Cline later revealed injuries including multiple broken jaw fractures, broken ribs, a sternum injury, collapsed lung, and spine swelling, noting her mouth would be wired shut after surgery. Wolfe asked for privacy but thanked fans for prayers and support.
Earlier this year, Wolfe closed his Nashville store after 15 years, saying he wanted a slower lifestyle in his home state of Iowa.
