This was pretty serious!

Many people enjoy the Discovery Channel television show Street Outlaws, so they’ll be disturbed to learn start JJ Da Boss and his wife Tricia Day were injured in a car crash while filming an episode in La Villa, Texas. According to reports, they were drag racing each other in their Chevy Novas when the accident occurred. Day’s injuries were bad enough she apparently was taken to a local hospital for treatment.

The two cars made contact as they rocketed down the dragstrip. Day’s car veered into a production van. When vehicles are accelerating and are already at high speeds, one small mistake can make everything go sideways in the blink of an eye.

An Instagram account called muscle.car.mayhem also posted photos of the wreck. JJ Da Boss posted a live video to his Facebook page on January 15, showing his crew hard at work repairing the damage on his car. He posted a video the same day of him and his wife in the hospital. He seemed to be in an overall good mood, joking about the situation, so his spirits seem to have survived intact. Tricia was smiling from her hospital bed.

This is a reminder that no matter how skillful you are with cars, if you’re pushing the envelope while behind the wheel, accidents become far more likely. Using the proper safety equipment, getting proper training, and racing on a closed course help minimize risk and hopefully lead to a better outcome, but there’s no way to be completely safe.

Street Outlaws has been on the air since 2013, so it’s had quite the run. JJ Da Boss has been one of the top cast members this season, accruing quite the following. See for yourself here:

She thanked her co-stars on the Discovery show for sending well-wishes and support. Trisha arrived shortly after her husband claimed he wasn’t sure whether he would ever go back to the person he was before the car wreck.

Social media posts in January 2022 showed JJ Da Boss and Tricia had been in a car wreck. Since the incident, Trisha hasn’t been present during filming, making her recent appearance the first update in a while.

Tricia and JJ Da Boss were in a car wreck while filming Street Outlaws: America’s List. They were driving separate cars when the accident happened on the night of January 12 in South Texas. They were both injured in the incident.

An update was posted on the Deep South Street Racing Facebook page on January 14, which stated: “JJ Da Boss is out of the hospital.“ The page also added details that the racer suffered burns to his hands and face.

JJ’s wife was also taken to hospital where she “had hip surgery and is now in recovery“. Since the crash, JJ said on the show he doesn’t know whether he’ll ever get the part of himself back that was there before the incident.

She is in a temporary wheelchair

Tricia turned up to the recent episode of Street Outlaws: America’s List in a wheelchair, which left viewers questioning what happened to her. She thanked her co-stars for their well-wishes and became teary during her return.

She revealed being in a wheelchair “looks bad but it’s temporary” and told cast members:

You’ve given me so much support and it truly helps me get through every day. This looks bad but this is just temporary. With that, I do have something I want to give. I have a necklace for the number one.

***WARNING: Spoiler ahead***

Tricia gifted a necklace to the racer who gets the number one spot in the race, which was later received by Ryan Martin.

Her fellow reality TV stars also welcomed her back to the drag racing scene:

As per recent reports, the star of Discovery's Street Outlaws, Jonathan Day (aka JJ Da Boss) and his wife, Tricia, were involved in a car crash on January 12. The couple sustained injuries for which they were hospitalized.

The news was first informed by the Facebook page Deep South Street Racing, which claimed that Day and Tricia were filming the second season of Street Outlaws: America's List.

Images of the crash confirm the collision of two or more street racing cars, including JJ Da Boss' iconic 1966 Chevy II Ziptie Nova. The car was totaled when it crashed into some stationary cars.

Another update from Deep South Street Racing claimed that Jonathan Day sustained burn injuries to his hands and face. He was discharged from the hospital on January 13, while his wife Tricia suffered hip injuries for which she was under surgery. The report claimed that she was still recovering in hospital.

Pictures showcasing the aftermath of the crash also showcased JJ and Tricia's other street racing car, The Hummingbird. While the Ziptie seemed to be involved in a head-on collision, impacting the center pillar and side panel of a parked car, the Hummingbird appeared to have rolled over.

Since JJ Da Boss only received minor burn injuries, it is speculated that he had been driving the Ziptie. Meanwhile, Tricia, who received hip surgery after the crash, may have been involved in the Hummingbird's accident.

Both street racing cars are confirmed to have had roll-over bars as reinforcement and other safety features. While the exact specifications and recent modifications are unknown, both cars are expected to have well over 1,000 horsepower (even without nitrous additions).

In 2017, JJ Da Boss was involved in another serious accident while hauling two cars to Arkansas. The 48-year-old Memphis native fell asleep behind the wheel, causing a major crash, where he ended up with a broken hand and fractured ribs. His cars, "Ole Heavy" and "Heifer," which were on the trailer, sustained a lot of damage as they ended up in a ditch.

Production on Discovery's Street Outlaws: America's List is expected to be halted until Jonathan and Tricia Day complete their recovery. As of now, it is unclear whether the couple's accident was during the shoot. Thus, it remains to be seen whether the upcoming season will include the crash.
