American Pickers star’s girlfriend will face MULTIPLE surgeries and long road to recovery after serious car accident

by

Mike Wolfe, known for his role on the TV show American Pickers, is recovering from a scary car crash. Unfortunately, his girlfriend, Leticia Cline, has sustained more serious injuries and faces a longer road to recovery.

A representative for the 61-year-old reality star confirmed to TMZ on Monday that Wolfe has left the hospital. They were previously taken by ambulance after suffering a broken nose, a knee injury, and cuts on their face that needed stitches.

Cline, however, remains hospitalized and is preparing to undergo several surgeries next week.

Reports indicate the 46-year-old model and motorcycle rider suffered a broken jaw, ribs, and sternum in the accident. She also partially collapsed a lung.

She was airlifted from the crash site due to the severity of her injuries.

Doctors are waiting for the swelling to go down before they operate, and surgeries are expected to start within the next few days.

Despite the difficult road ahead, Wolfe’s team said Cline is expected to make a full recovery. 

A couple was seriously injured in a car crash in Tennessee on September 12th and are currently receiving medical care.

On top of a collapsed lung and spinal swelling, Leticia also needed her jaw wired shut.

Wolfe shared news about the accident on social media, saying that both people involved are expected to fully recover.

He said: ‘By the grace of God, we’re both safe and okay.

I’m so relieved to say we’re both getting fantastic care right now. Leticia is still in the hospital, but everyone is confident she’ll make a complete recovery, and that means the world to me.

We appreciate your understanding and support during this difficult time, and are grateful for all your kind thoughts and prayers. God bless you.

He also shared a photo of the wrecked vintage blue car, clearly showing how badly it was damaged.

He shared in another post that although the night was difficult, things are starting to look better.

‘I truly believe in the power of group players. Thank you to all of you that have sent them to us.’

Since the accident, Leticia has been keeping fans updated on her recovery.

Okay, so I was totally freaking out last night when I saw her post! There she was, in a hospital bed with a neck brace! My heart just stopped. And then, to make it even worse, I noticed her boyfriend, Mike, was right there beside her…but in *his* bed! It was just…a lot to take in. I’ve been obsessively refreshing her page ever since, hoping for an update, and honestly, I’m just so worried about her.

She also uploaded a snap of her working from the bed, while still hooked up to an IV drip.

She explained in her post that simply being absent from one city council meeting doesn’t diminish her overall commitment to the work.

‘It will take more than a crash to stop me from caring about city matters.’

Another photo showed Leticia’s sister sitting in the chair next to her.

I woke up and immediately asked the emergency room staff for my sister, and thankfully, she was already there, waiting for me, as she explained in the caption of the photo.

I added her as my emergency contact in my health app, so it immediately notified her when I had the accident and continuously shared my location with her.

‘It was magical to see where when I woke up.’

I’ve been following Mike’s life for a while now, and it’s been great to see him find happiness with Leticia. They’ve been together since 2021, which was also the year he officially finalized his divorce from Jodi Catherine Wolfe. It feels like a fresh start for him!
