Honey Boo Boo's Family Involved In Car Accident, Mama June Releases Statement
Honey Boo Boo and her family were involved in a car accident on Monday night after a truck hit their vehicle after reportedly running a red light.
"Sugar Bear was in the driver's seat with Mama June, Pumpkin, Jessica "Chubbs," and Honey Boo Boo all as passengers in the vehicle when it was struck by a truck that allegedly ran a red light," Radar Online reported on Jan. 7. "Sugar Bear was attempting to make a left-hand turn at a green light when the driver of the truck sped through the red."
Luckily, the injuries to the family weren't life-threatening and Mama June has spoken out, assuring fans that they will be okay in time and thanking them for offering their support.
"As many of you have heard we were in a car accident last night. It was really scary for us, since it was the first time any of us had ever been in a wreck," Mama June told Radar. "We are definitely really sore today, but our top priority is to celebrate Pumpkin's birthday. She turned 14 today and no matter how sore we feel we are going to go out and celebrate. As always we want to thank everyone for their support and well wishes."
After the accident, Honey Boo Boo and the family were taken to the hospital via ambulance where Sugar Bear was treated for a contusion on his back, Mama June was treated for injuries to her back, Pumpkin for severe chest bruises, and Honey Boo Boo for a bad headache.
Although the family's TLC show, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, is currently in production, no crew members were present during the incident.
