American Pickers Star’s Girlfriend to Undergo Multiple Surgeries, Long Recovery After Serious Car Accident

American Pickers Star Mike Wolfe and Girlfriend Leticia Cline Recover After Severe Car Crash

Mike Wolfe, 61, has been released from the hospital following a September 12 car accident in Tennessee, but his girlfriend, Leticia Cline, 46, faces a longer recovery with multiple surgeries ahead.

Injuries and Recovery
Wolfe suffered a broken nose, facial lacerations requiring stitches, and a knee injury. Cline, however, sustained far more serious injuries, including a broken jaw, ribs, sternum, a partially collapsed lung, and spinal swelling. She was airlifted from the crash site and remains hospitalized, with her jaw wired shut. Doctors are waiting for swelling to subside before beginning surgeries next week. Both are expected to make full recoveries, according to Wolfe’s representatives.

Social Media Updates
Wolfe shared a photo of their crumpled vintage blue car, writing, “By the grace of God, we’re safe… Thank you for your prayers.” He also posted a heartfelt message praising medical staff and fans’ support.

Cline documented her hospital stay, including a photo of herself in a neck brace with Wolfe in a nearby bed. She humorously shared a snap of herself working via video call while hooked to an IV, captioning it, “It’ll take more than a crash to stop me from city matters.” Another post highlighted her sister’s swift arrival, thanks to emergency alerts on her health app.

Relationship Timeline
The pair have been dating since 2021, the same year Wolfe’s divorce from ex-wife Jodi Catherine Wolfe was finalized. Fans continue to send well-wishes as the couple focuses on healing.
