A Welsh beauty queen who suffered serious injuries following a horror crash on the M4 has described the ordeal. Darcey Corria, who won the Miss Wales title last year and is due to represent Wales in this year's Miss World, was involved in a crash on the M4 eastbound near Bridgend on January 19.
The 21-year-old beauty queen from Barry was then rushed to University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff where she was treated for a number of injuries including broken bones in her neck. Darcey spent more than two weeks in hospital before being discharged at the beginning of February.
Darcey explained that her recovery has been "slow" but "going well" while her outlook on life has changed drastically. Although Darcey said she knew very little of what happened to her on January 19 when she woke up later in hospital she said that some of her memories of the crash have come back since she's returned to her family home in the Vale of Glamorgan. The beauty queen said she was travelling back home from Swansea after dropping off a few dresses at a company when she realised that something wasn't right.
