A student teacher feared she'd die when a hair clip sliced through her scalp and lodged in her head for two hours after a horror car crash.
Jeena Panesar had her hair tied up in a claw clip when she lost control of the car while driving home from work in Swadlincote, Derbyshire on January 24th. The 19-year-old says she was travelling at 50mph on a 60mph road when her vehicle hit a tree before skidding for 50 metres and flipping over - crushing her head against the roof.
The impact of the crash rammed the claw clip into the back of Jeena's head until 'most or all' of the hair accessory was embedded skull-deep in her flesh. Jeena escaped the wreckage and desperately sought help from a nearby motorist before passing out and being blue-lighted to hospital where the 10cm-long clip was removed.

Shocking selfie-style images show the giant 30cm wound running from the back of her scalp to her left eyebrow, which she's not able to move even six weeks on. She's now warning motorists to ditch wearing claw clips while driving and use an elastic bobble instead to avoid the same gruesome experience.
