“Pawn Stars” star Corey Harrison is facing a painful recovery and a heartbreaking personal setback after a serious motorcycle crash left him with 11 broken ribs, forcing him to miss his father Rick Harrison’s wedding for the second consecutive time.
In a devastating turn of events, Corey Harrison of the hit History Channel series “Pawn Stars” has been hospitalized following a severe motorcycle accident. The reality TV star took to social media to share his condition, revealing he sustained 11 broken ribs and will be confined to bed for the next six weeks, effectively missing his father Rick Harrison’s wedding.
Corey posted a photo from his hospital bed on Monday, showcasing his bruised and battered face. In the caption, he wrote, “Pretty messed up but I’m good crash bars are awesome 3 nights in the hospital 11 breaks in my rib cage Will do an episode on @theCoreyHarrisonshow sorry Pops looks like I’m missing your wedding.” The post also included X-rays that graphically displayed the extensive damage to his rib cage, underscoring the severity of the crash.
A representative for Rick Harrison provided additional context, confirming the injury resulted from a motorcycle accident in which Corey was the sole individual involved. Rick visited his son in the hospital on Sunday, and the prognosis is for a long recovery period, keeping Corey off his feet for weeks.
The timing of the accident is particularly cruel for Harrison, as it marks the second time he will be absent from his father’s nuptials. Rick Harrison, who married his fiancée Angie Polushkin earlier this month in a Las Vegas ceremony officiated by an Elvis impersonator, was planning a larger, more formal beach wedding in Cancun. Corey, who resides in Tulum, Mexico, had been looking forward to attending this celebration.
Last year, Corey had expressed his excitement about the prospect of being part of his father’s wedding day. He told reporters he was “looking forward to being the best man of the wedding, if that’s what his dad decided.” It remains unclear if Corey was ever officially asked to take on that role, but his absence is undoubtedly a significant blow for the family during what should be a joyous occasion.
This is not the first time Corey’s love for motorcycles has landed him in trouble. In 2014, he purposefully jumped off his bike at 40 MPH to avoid a major crash, an incident that occurred on his birthday. Despite his injuries, which included a broken hand requiring surgery to insert eight screws and two plates, he still attended a birthday party before seeking medical attention. It appears the hand he injured in that previous accident was also affected in his latest crash.
The Harrison family has been a staple on television for over a decade with “Pawn Stars,” which chronicles the daily operations of the World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop in Las Vegas. The show’s success has made the Harrison patriarchs, Rick, his father “The Old Man” Richard, and his sons Corey and “Big Hoss” Adam, household names. The close-knit family dynamic has been a central theme of the series, making Corey’s absence from his father’s wedding a poignant and public moment of family hardship.
As Corey Harrison begins his long road to recovery, fans of the show and the Harrison family are sending their well wishes. The accident serves as a stark reminder of the risks associated with high-speed activities and the unpredictable nature of life, even for those in the public eye. For now, the focus remains on Corey’s health and a swift recovery so he can celebrate with his family in the future.
