Ex-‘Pawn Stars’ co-star injured in motorcycle crash in Mexico
Corey Harrison isn’t standing up for his father, Rick Harrison, at his wedding ceremony in Cancun. The younger Harrison hasn’t been standing up much at all after laying down his Harley-Davidson on Friday in Tulum, Mexico.
Harrison, who has left the “Pawn Stars” History series, said Monday morning he suffered 11 breaks in his rib cage, required 10 stitches in his hand and “smashed my head, hematoma, concussion, all that stuff.”
The 42-year-old Harrison posted shots of himself bed-ridden, both hands wrapped, and a respectable abrasion over his left eye. We also see some medically effective X-rays of his rib cage, arrows pointing to his many fractures.
Harrison will not be at the Rick Harrison-Angie Polushkin wedding party in Cancun, set for Monday. Harrison and Polushkin were legally married in an intimate ceremony Jan. 3 at Little White Wedding Chapel at 1301 S. Las Vegas Blvd. in downtown Las Vegas.
A reception and party were held afterward at nearby Rick’s Rollin’ Smoke BBQ at Pawn Plaza. The event in Cancun was to be a more expansive celebration, with additional friends and family, including the younger Harrison.
Instead, as Harrison posted, “Sorry Pops looks like I’m missing your wedding.” He also said he’s posting an episode of “The Corey Harrison Show” on Monday night, but won’t be about the crash. Tune in anyway. It’s never boring with Mr. Harrison. His podcast is full-throttle, similar to is approach to Harley riding in Mexico.
Meantime, the “Pawn Stars” series is to continue, with Rick Harrison and Austin “Chumlee” Russell restarting the hit series, which debuted in 2009. Filming is to resume at Gold & Silver Pawn in downtown Las Vegas next month. And the popular M&G (meet—and-greet) packages are back, a guarantee to meet Rick or Chum at the shop.
