Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson was involved in a car accident.
The reality star’s mother, Mama June Shannon, revealed in an Instagram post on Friday, Sept. 26, that Alana, 20, was T-boned while pulling out of her driveway in Denver.
“Somebody actually wasn’t paying attention and T-boned her on her road,” Mama June said, speaking directly to the camera in the video shared. “They are always speeding on the road.”
However, Mama June said Alana was “lucky,” as the 23-year-old man who was driving the other vehicle admitted he was “going 40 miles an hour and probably wasn’t paying attention.”
“But anyway, with that being said, Alana is fine,” Mama June continued, adding of Alana: “She was hit on the driver’s side of her car. 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 be able to get her a rental car and to get her set.”

Detailing that she hates living hours away from her youngest daughter, Mama June said, “When you get that phone call … your stomach drops and all you can hear is someone hollering.”
The Toddlers & Tiaras alum is mom to four daughters total: Alana, plus Jessica “Chubbs” Shannon and Lauryn “Pumpkin” Efrid, as well as Anna “Chickadee” Cardwell, who died on Dec. 9, 2023, after being diagnosed with adrenal carcinoma.

Speaking further about Alana’s injuries, Mama June said, “She is banged up a little bit but other than that she is OK [after her] first car wreck.” She added that her child is currently “at home” and “resting.”
The reality star also revealed that Alana’s first call after the incident was to the police, and her second was to her clinical director. “Because tomorrow would’ve been her first day that she would’ve started clinicals,” she explained. (Alana is pursuing a nursing degree at Regis University.)
Despite the situation, Mama June said Alana insisted on still attending her first day and planned to “get up in the morning and go.”
