Years later, Grainne is still recovering as doctors had to remove her forehead, something she says now makes her look “a little strange”.

Speaking from Laois, Ireland, she told Fabulous Magazine:

“When the jeep collided with the wall the airbags inflated as they do but because my feet were on top of mine it actually pushed my feet, knees first into my face.”

Grainne was rushed to the hospital with multiple facial fractures and she had a cerebrospinal fluid leak from her brain which required treatment by a neurosurgeon at Dublin’s Beaumont Hospital.

She explained:

“They told me that I had pushed in and up my face and they would have to basically pull it all out and put it back together.”

The operation was a success but she suffered complications and her forehead had to be removed.
