Horrific Car crash leaves Jamaican woman with a British accent.


A Jamaican business woman who survived a fatal car crash that killed her friend now has a British accent plus she is also left-handed.

Deana-Rae Clayton who has never visited the UK, woke up from a two-day coma only to find herself speaking not in patois ( Jamaican accent) but in British accent.

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.

Speaking to Mail Online, Deana-Rae said, "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."

Doctors say Deana-Rae is suffering from foreign accent syndrome - a condition where a person speaks with a different accent after suffering a stroke or a traumatic brain injury.



Deana-Rae, who now has memory loss, suffered swelling on the brain which affected her cerebellum - the part used for speech and movement.

She was also blinded in her right eye and sustained a horrific catalogue of injuries in the crash in June last year which killed her pal Christopher Sherman who was driving.
