'I thought I was going to die when claw clip sliced through my scalp in car crash'

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 24. The 19-year-old said on TikTok that 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, from Derby, Derbyshire, said: "It's sad to say but I kind of thought I was going to die."
