'American Pickers' Mike Wolfe, Girlfriend Injured in Car Accident

The popular star of the long-running History Channel TV show American Pickers was in a brutal car accident alongside his girlfriend, which resulted in them both being hospitalized.

On Saturday, September 13th, Mike Wolfe of American Pickers, along with his girlfriend, Leticia Cline, were involved in a car accident in Columbia, TN. He took to his Instagram story to reveal the accident, and stated from the jump: "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. Thank you for respecting our privacy at this time and we appreciate all of your love & prayers. God bless - Mike Wolfe, per his initial Instagram story

The following day, September 14th, Wolfe posted a photo of the damage his classic car received in the accident. The vehicle looked crunched, so much so that it's something of a miracle Wolfe and Cline weren't killed in the collision:

The hood of the antique blue vehicle (the exact make/model wasn't available) was complete crumpled, and the windshield appeared to be smashed in the process. Wolfe went on to say that he believed in the power of group prayers and thanked his fans for their support.

Per her own post, she suffered a broken jaw, broken ribs, a fractured sternum, a collapsed lung, and spinal swelling. She also revealed her mouth will be wired shut for an indefinite amount of time. She, too, is lucky to be alive.
