‘American Pickers’ Star Mike Wolfe & Girlfriend Leticia Cline Hospitalized After Major Car Crash
The host of “American Pickers” and his girlfriend are on the mend after a major car accident in Tennessee. Mike Wolfe and Leticia Cline were hospitalized following the Sept. 12 crash and shared the scary news with their respective Instagram followers the next day. Wolfe revealed in a now-expired Stories post that the vintage blue Porsche he and his partner were riding in was apparently totaled but that there is now “light at the end of the tunnel.” He reportedly shared in an earlier update that he and Leticia received “excellent care” and that she is expected to make a full recovery despite her continued hospital stay. Leticia gave fans a personal look at her progress in a series of her own IG Stories, confirming that she’d sustained injuries including multiple fractures to her jaw, sternum, and ribs, as well as a collapsed lung and spinal swelling. She added that her jaw is wired shut but she remains grateful she didn’t fare worse. “I still got my brain and that’s all that matters,” she wrote. Wolfe has starred on History Channel’s “American Pickers” since 2010. His former co-host, Frank Fritz, departed the show in 2021 amid a public falling out with Wolfe. He passed away last year at age 60. Wolfe and Cline reportedly started dating in 2021 following his divorce from ex-wife Jodi Faeth, with whom he shares a 13-year-old daughter.
