Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson, the 20-year-old reality TV star, was involved in a car accident in Denver on Friday, September 26, while running an errand, RadarOnline.com reports.
The accident occurred as Honey Boo Boo was pulling out of her driveway when another driver “T-boned” her vehicle while driving down the road. Her mother, Mama June Shannon, shared the news in an Instagram video, referring to it as her daughter’s “first car wreck” but reassuring fans that she is “okay” and currently “resting.”
### The Crash
Mama June filmed the update from a crowded airport before boarding a flight to be by her daughter’s side. She explained that Honey Boo Boo had just been leaving her house when the accident happened. The other driver, a 23-year-old male, admitted fault, stating he was driving at 40 mph and was probably not paying attention.
“The impact hit the driver’s side of her car,” Mama June said. “It could have been a lot worse.”
Following the crash, Thompson was transported to the hospital but has since been discharged and is recovering at home. According to her mother, she is experiencing back pain and “headache issues” but is expected to recover.
### Mama June Speaks Out
In the caption of her Instagram post, Mama June shared more details:
“Today has definitely been a crazy day since 3 o’clock. This is what I hate — Alana Thompson is 23 hours away, but she is following her dreams. When you get that phone call and your stomach drops and all you can hear is someone hollering… trust me, I’ll do a story time about it tomorrow. But she is at home. She is resting.”
She added that her daughter “is banged up a little bit but other than that, she is OK—first car wreck.”
Mama June also explained that Thompson had been “just going to get her hair done” when the crash occurred.
### Honey Boo Boo Is Going to School Despite the Ordeal
Despite the accident, Honey Boo Boo is determined to continue with her plans. Mama June revealed,
“Her first phone call was to the police, and her second phone call was to her clinical director because tomorrow would have been her first day starting clinicals. She is still saying that she’s going to get up in the morning and go—we will see…”
Thompson is currently pursuing a nursing degree at Regis University in Denver. Mama June said she was traveling to Denver “to get her rental car, get the car situation figured out, and make sure that she is OK.”
She later told outlets she was “thankful” the outcome wasn’t worse, adding,
“If Honey Boo Boo had pulled out of her residence just moments earlier, it would have been a whole different visit.”
### The Family Drama
While this was Thompson’s first accident as a driver, she was previously involved in a wreck over a decade ago in 2014. At that time, her father, Mike “Sugar Bear” Thompson, was behind the wheel with Mama June and sisters Lauryn and Jessica when another vehicle struck them during a left turn.
Reflecting on that incident, Honey Boo Boo questioned whether her father’s actions were intentional. She said,
“There were just times when my dad would get super angry and let his anger issues get the best of him. You never really knew when he was angry, what would happen. It was always up in the air.”
She added,
“There were times when he would just rip his clothes off, throw things, or punch walls. It was a little scary. You never know what could happen when he got angry.”
The star also admitted that she does not have much contact with her father.
“I can’t even tell you the last time I talked to him. That’s how long it’s been,” she said.
### Recent Developments
The accident comes just months after the May premiere of a dramatized Lifetime documentary about Honey Boo Boo’s life, which received mixed reviews.
