An Adelaide influencer suffered a freak accident in Glenelg this week when a fashion mishap almost ‘decapitated’ her.

Eli Moulton, a dress hire business owner in South Australia, was left ‘in a choke-hold’ after her sheer black scarf got caught beneath a moving car.

The mother of two shared on Instagram Sunday that while returning home from an event, her accessory became caught under her car and ended up being ripped off.

She rushed to hospital following the incident and required medical treatment for a severe friction burn around her neck.

Although the injury looked severe, Eli mentioned she was maintaining a positive attitude after the frightening accident, but she did issue a strong caution to her followers.

‘A reminder for the ladies: REMOVE your neck scarves before entering or operating any heavy machinery!’ she captioned a video of the aftermath.

‘Nearly decapitated myself getting the scarf tangled underneath the car on the way home.’

In the clip Eli shared, she first showed the strapless black dress she wore while attending the opening of Glenelg BMW in Adelaide.

‘The dress that had me in a choke-hold,’ she wrote over the video, which saw her smiling as she posed with a friend next to a BMW.

The montage then cut to pictures and video of a thick burn going around her neck where the scarf had been yanked off and rubbed her skin raw. 

Just hours later, Eli took to her Stories to share another video of the wound, which had since opened and become painful-looking. 

Layers of skin appeared to be missing around the affected area.

‘Not even the Paris filter can help me,’ Eli joked in the caption, alongside a skull emoji.

‘We are off to get this medically dressed—don’t worry folks. My spirits are still high. Thriving and surviving.’

Stunned fans flocked to her comments.

‘Omg! That looks so painful!’ one person wrote.

‘Eli! That is frightening. Looks sore too. Hope you are ok x,’ said another. 

‘Fashion is a dangerous business. You poor love,’ fellow South Australian fashionista Rebecca Morse added.

Eli is a mother to three-year-old Teddy and newborn Rocky Bloom, whom she shares with former Botanic chef Justin James.
