American Pickers star’s girlfriend will face MULTIPLE surgeries and long road to recovery after serious car accident
American Pickers star Mike Wolfe is on the mend following a frightening car accident, but his girlfriend, Leticia Cline, is facing a far tougher recovery.
On Monday, a spokesperson for the reality star, 61, confirmed to TMZ that Wolfe has been released from the hospital after being transported by ambulance with a broken nose, an injured knee, and facial lacerations that required stitches.
Cline, however, remains hospitalized and is preparing to undergo several surgeries next week.
According to reps, the 46-year-old former model and motorcycle enthusiast broke her jaw, ribs and sternum in the collision, and also suffered a partially collapsed lung from the crash.
She was airlifted from the crash site due to the severity of her injuries.
Doctors are waiting for swelling to subside before performing surgery, with procedures scheduled to begin in the coming days.

Despite the difficult road ahead, Wolfe’s team said Cline is expected to make a full recovery.
The couple were both in a horror collision on September 12 in Tennessee and have since been receiving treatment for their injuries.
In addition to suffering from a collapsed lung and swelling on her spine, Leticia had to have her jaw wired shut.
Wolfe announced news of the accident on social media, in which he confirmed that they are both expected to make a ‘full recovery’.
He said: ‘By the grace of God, we’re both safe and okay.
‘We are both receiving excellent care, and while Leticia is still in the hospital, she is expected to make a full recovery.
‘Thank you for respecting our privacy at this time, and we appreciate all of your love (and) prayers. God bless.’

‘I truly believe in the power of group players. Thank you to all of you that have sent them to us.’
Since the accident, Leticia has been keeping fans updated on her recovery.
On Sunday night, she shared a photo of herself lying in a hospital bed with a neck brace on while her boyfriend Mike was in his own bed beside her.
She also uploaded a snap of her working from the bed, while still hooked up to an IV drip.
‘Just because I’m missing a city council meeting, doesn’t mean I can’t be involved,’ she captioned the image.
‘It will take more than a crash to stop me from caring about city matters.’

Another photo showed Leticia’s sister sitting in the chair next to her.
‘When I came to, I told the ER I wanted my sister and she was already there,’ she captioned the picture.
‘Made her the emergency contact in my health app and it alerted her as soon as I crashed and kept her posted about my location the whole time.
‘It was magical to see where when I woke up.’
Mike has been in a relationship with Leticia since 2021, the same year his divorce from ex-wife Jodi Catherine Wolfe was finalized.
