“Leticia and I were involved in a car accident last evening in Columbia, TN,” he revealed. “By the grace of God, we’re both safe and okay.”
The history fanatic continued, “We are both receiving excellent care and while Leticia is still in the hospital, she is expected to make a full recovery.”
To conclude his update, Wolfe shared, “Thank you for respecting our privacy at this time and we appreciate all of your love & prayers. God bless.”

Wolfe did not share any details about the extent of his and Cline’s injuries or how the accident happened. In his most recent Instagram Stories segment before revealing the crash, Robby Klein, a photographer, tagged Wolfe in a video of someone driving a car, writing, “And that was the last time @mikewolfeamericanpicker saw his Impala.”
Both Wolfe and Kline are motorcyclists, too; it’s unclear whether the accident happened on a bike or a full-sized vehicle.
Previously, the American Pickers star, 61, was married to Jodi Faeth for nearly nine years. They welcomed a daughter, Charlie, now 13, before divorcing in 2021. Wolfe started dating Cline, 46, a model and journalist, not long afterward.

In August, Season 27 of American Pickers wrapped up, kicking off the show’s first hiatus in its 15 years of existence since premiering in 2010, and giving Wolfe and his co-star, Danielle Colby, a well-deserved break. A premiere date for Season 28 has not been announced, as of writing.
Meanwhile, Wolfe announced a career switch-up in February as he made his film debut in The Reckoning. He also revealed in March that he had a new History Channel show coming out called History’s Greatest Picks With Mike Wolfe. This is in addition to running two short-term rental properties, one of which opened in May.
Colby—who prefers they/them pronouns—also made a major career move when she opened the Ecdysiast Arts Museum, a museum dedicated to the history of stripping, in Davenport, Iowa. The History Channel star also performs burlesque under the stage name Dannie Diesel. Their revealing looks have turned heads on several occasions on social media in recent months.
Hopefully, both Wolfe and Cline experience a smooth recovery after their car accident.
