Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson, the reality TV star from Toddlers & Tiaras, was involved in a car accident on Friday, Sept. 26, in Denver. Her mother, Mama June Shannon, shared the news on Instagram, explaining that Thompson, 20, was T-boned while pulling out of her driveway.
“Somebody actually wasn’t paying attention and T-boned her on her road,” Mama June said.
The other driver, a 23-year-old man, admitted he was speeding at 40 mph and likely distracted, leading to the collision that struck the driver’s side of Thompson’s car.

Minor Injuries, Quick Recovery
Despite the crash, Mama June confirmed her daughter avoided serious injuries.
“She was lucky… it could have been a lot worse. She was taken to the hospital, she does have back pain, she is having some headache issues, but we are headed to Denver to get her a rental car and get her set,” she added.
Staying Strong and Focused on Goals
Mama June also shared the emotional impact of the accident, highlighting the stress of receiving such news while being far from her daughter.
“When you get that phone call … your stomach drops and all you can hear is someone hollering,” she said.

“She is banged up a little bit but other than that she is OK [after her] first car wreck,” Mama June said.
Thompson insisted on attending her first clinical day, demonstrating her resilience even after the accident.
