When Paisley was in a ghastly car accident, she was gobsmacked to realise that it was the cheap hair accessory that was the cause of her catastrophic head injuries.
“My claw clip didn’t break when it went through the back of my head during the accident, but it did cause significant damage… I can’t remember anything,” the young crash survivor reveals in her viral video.

“I don’t remember a thing about the car crash”
When Paisley, her boyfriend and cousin were driving on March 4 of this year in a side-by-side car, they rolled off the road, causing the car to flip, a traumatic ordeal for anyone, let alone a group of young people.
Paisley to hit her head on a metal bar, which lodged the claw hair clip in the back of her head and puncturing her scalp. The pain was so intense from the impact that she passed out.
Luckily, she was freed from the car and rushed to the hospital.
“My boyfriend was there thankfully, and my cousin, and they literally ripped the roof off of the side-by-side to get me out. And I called my mum and she called the emergency department, letting them know we were on the way, she explained.
Due to the excess bleeding from Paige’s head , a CT scan and X-ray was ordered to rule out any injuries to the brain.
“I was very lucky I did not have any brain damage and my condition was never too critical,” the relieved woman said.

“I don’t have brain damage but did have a nasty concussion”
Despite not having brain damage, Paisley did suffer from concussion and is on medication that relieves pain from the five staples in the back of her head.
As traumatic as the ordeal was… Paige has no recollection whatsoever of the crash.
“I do not remember anything from the accident. Everything I’ve just said I’ve just been told from it.”
The comments flooded with people showing their support, and those who immediately threw their claw clips away.
“I just removed mine from my hair when watching this… sorry that happened to you,” one follower emphasised.
“Well… I’ll never be wearing a claw clip in the car now,” another said.
“Am I the only one wondering how this clip didn’t break?” asked a gobsmacked TikToker.
