A right-handed businesswoman in Jamaica who survived a horrific car crash that killed her friend now has a British accent and is left-handed. Two days after the accident in St James Deana-Rae Clayton woke from a coma to find she was speaking with a British accent despite never visiting the UK. The 33-year-old vlogger, from Montego Bay, said not only is she unable to speak patois, the Jamaican accent, but she is unable to understand it at times when it is spoken to her.

She told Mirror Online: "In my head I'm speaking patois but when it comes out of my mouth I sound British. It took me a while to get used to it but now I like it and everyone says my new accent suits me. I'm also left-handed too. I used to use just my right hand to write but now I can use both."
