Columbia, TN — September 13, 2025
Mike Wolfe, the longtime star of American Pickers, and his girlfriend Leticia Cline were recently involved in a serious car accident in Columbia, Tennessee. The crash, which occurred on the evening of September 12, left Wolfe’s vintage blue Impala severely damaged and sent Cline to the hospital with multiple injuries2.
Wolfe broke the news via Instagram Stories, sharing a photo of the mangled vehicle and a heartfelt message:
“Leticia and I were involved in a car accident last evening in Columbia, TN. By the grace of God, we're both safe and okay.”
While Wolfe escaped with minor injuries, Cline suffered significant trauma. She later posted from her hospital bed, revealing she had sustained:
A broken jaw in multiple places
Broken ribs and sternum
A collapsed lung
Severe spinal swelling
Despite the severity, doctors expect her to make a full recovery. “My mouth will be wired shut but I still got my brain and that’s all that matters,” she wrote.
The accident comes during a rare hiatus for American Pickers, which wrapped its 27th season in August. Wolfe had recently announced a new History Channel series, History’s Greatest Picks, and made his film debut in The Reckoning. He also manages two short-term rental properties, one of which opened earlier this year3.
Leticia Cline, a former journalist and model, has been dating Wolfe since 2021. The couple’s relationship has been publicly visible, often sharing moments from their travels and restoration projects.
Fans and fellow pickers have flooded social media with messages of support. Wolfe expressed gratitude for the outpouring of prayers, saying,
“I truly believe in the power of group prayers. Thank you to all of you that have sent them to us.”
As of now, the cause of the accident remains undisclosed. Authorities have not released an official report, and Wolfe has asked for privacy while they recover.
