Mama June Races To Colorado After Honey Boo Boo's 'First Car Crash'

Mama June is shaken after her daughter, Alana, was involved in her very first car accident. The 20-year-old was pulling out of the driveway of her Colorado home when a speeding driver slammed into the driver's side of her vehicle.

In a video posted online, Mama June explained that the young man behind the wheel admitted to going 40 MPH down the road before hitting her daughter. She added that if Alana had pulled out just seconds later, the wreck could have been much worse.

Alana raised alarms earlier this year after realizing her savings did not add up. In a March 2024 episode of "Mama June: Family Crisis," the reality TV star voiced her frustration about needing answers.

Having worked in television since the age of six, she expected her Coogan account to reflect years of earnings. Instead, she and her sister, Lauryn "Pumpkin" Efird, found only $33,000, far less than the six-figure balance they anticipated.

The shocking discovery put Mama June in the hot seat. At first, she denied touching Alana's money but later admitted to taking some of it. She defended her actions, claiming the withdrawals went toward Alana's upbringing and needs.
