  • Pawn Stars personality Corey "Big Hoss" Harrison suffered severe injuries, including 11 fractured ribs and a punctured lung, in a motorcycle accident in Tulum, Mexico, in January.
  • The accident has resulted in over $100,000 in medical bills and expenses, prompting Harrison to launch a GoFundMe campaign for financial assistance.
  • His friend, Aron Chambers, described the harrowing experience of transporting Harrison to a more affordable hospital in Mexico after he had exhausted his personal savings.
  • Harrison underwent three life-saving surgeries and spent a total of 32 days in hospital, now requiring ongoing follow-up care and medication.
  • The GoFundMe campaign has raised nearly £5,000 towards its £18,000 target, with Harrison having previously announced in 2025 that he would not renew his contract with Pawn Stars.
