Student teacher almost killed in car crash as claw clip sliced her scalp

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. The 19-year-old is now urging motorists not to wear the hair accessory while driving for fear it could happen to others.

"It was just really painful. If you've ever worn a claw clip and forgotten to take it out and lay down on
