A US woman with the world's longest fingernails has lost them - in a car accident.
Lee Redmond, 67, of Salt Lake City, Utah, had been growing her fingernails since 1979, reports the Salt Lake Tribune.
They were the longest in the world according to Guinness World Records and were last measured at 33 inches long.
But Salt Lake County sheriff's spokesman Don Hutson confirmed they were broken off in a four-car pileup in Holladay.
Ms Redmond was a passenger in one of the cars and was taken to a hospital. Her injuries were not life threatening, Hutson said.
In a 1995 article, she revealed that she once turned down $10,000 to trim her nails on Japanese TV.
