Imagine cruising down a Tennessee road in your prized vintage ride, feeling like the king of rusty relics, only to have fate slam on the brakes—literally. Mike Wolfe, the star of “American Pickers,” probably thought his biggest thrill was unearthing forgotten treasures, but nope, a gruesome car crash turned his Friday night into a demolition derby. With his girlfriend Leticia Cline by his side, their blue classic car got totaled, leaving them battered but grateful for survival. It’s like the universe decided to “pick” on them for a change, proving that even reality TV pros can’t outrun real-life plot twists.
Mike Wolfe and Leticia Cline survived a serious car accident in Columbia, Tennessee, on Friday, September 13, 2025. Wolfe shared photos of the wrecked vehicle on Instagram, noting they were receiving excellent care. Cline suffered a broken jaw, ribs, sternum, and a collapsed lung, hoping for surgery soon. Both expressed thanks for prayers, with Wolfe calling it a “rough nite” but seeing light ahead. This comes amid Wolfe’s recent closure of his Nashville store to slow down in Iowa, following the loss of co-star Frank Fritz in 2024.
