Mike Wolfe, star of the popular History Channel show American Pickers, and his girlfriend Leticia Cline are recovering after a serious car accident in Columbia, Tennessee. The incident happened on Friday, September 12, 2025.
Wolfe shared the news and images of his heavily damaged vintage blue Porsche on Instagram, reassuring fans that both he and Leticia were safe. Despite the trauma, he expressed gratitude: “By the grace of God, we’re both safe and okay. We are both receiving excellent care, and while Leticia is still in the hospital, she is expected to make a full recovery.”
Leticia revealed on her own social platforms that she suffered several injuries, including a broken jaw in multiple places, fractured ribs, a broken sternum, a collapsed lung, and swelling on her spine. Her jaw will be wired shut, but she remains positive about the outcome, stating, “I still got my brain and that’s all that matters.”
Wolfe posted a later update saying, “It’s been a rough night but now there’s light at the end of the tunnel,” and thanked followers for their prayers and support during this difficult time.
Earlier this year, Wolfe closed his iconic Nashville antique store, Antique Archaeology, after 15 years to seek a slower life pace in Iowa. Alongside personal setbacks, Wolfe recently mourned the loss of his longtime friend and American Pickers co-star Frank Fritz, who passed away in 2024.
The couple first began dating in 2021. Fans and followers continue to send well wishes for their speedy recoveries as they face healing from this frightening ordeal.
