DENVER (KDVR) Former reality TV star “Honey Boo Boo” got into a crash in Denver on Friday, according to a social media post from her celebrity mother, Mama June.
Mama June, whose real name is June Shannon, said her daughter Honey Boo Boo, or Alana Thompson, was T-boned on the driver’s side of her car while she was pulling out of her driveway. Shannon said Thompson was on her way “to get her hair done.”
Shannon wrote in the caption that the accident was Thompson’s “first car wreck,” and said her daughter was “banged up a little bit but other than that she is OK.”
In the accompanying video, Shannon claimed drivers are “always speeding on her road.”
She added, however, that she had to “give credit where credit is due” to the 23-year-old who allegedly ran into Thompson’s car, saying he “admitted that he was going 40 mph and probably wasn’t paying attention.” She did not specify the speed limit on the road.
This was the first time that Thompson had ever been in a car crash, her mother said.
Thompson was home resting after the accident, Shannon said.
“It could’ve been a lot worse than it was,” she wrote.
Thompson, after becoming a child reality TV star, later moved to Denver to pursue neonatal nursing at Regis University. Her mother said she was set to start her first day of clinicals the day after the crash, and was unsure if Thompson would need to postpone.
Shannon said in the video that she was on her way to Denver to provide support for her daughter.
