Influencer Almost ‘Decapitated’ After Her Neck Scarf Gets Stuck Under Moving Car

A fashion influencer is warning others about the dangers of long scarves.

On Sunday, Aug. 17, Eli Moulton revealed she nearly “decapitated” herself after her scarf got stuck under a moving car.

Sharing a video on her Instagram page, Moulton revealed that she began her night at the opening of  Glenelg BMW in Australia on Aug. 11, wearing a long black gown with a matching neck scarf.

“The dress that held me in a choke hold,” she wrote across the screen.

The clip then switched to her lifting her head up to reveal the burn around her neck.

“Literally,” her caption on the clip read as the audio switched to the “Oh no” voiceover.

Moulton showcased the burn from different angles, showing the thick pink line around her neck.

“⚠️⚠️⚠️ A reminder for the ladies: REMOVE your neck scarves before entering or operating any heavy machinery! Nearly decapitated myself getting the scarf tangled underneath the car on the way home 😅,” she added in her caption.

She then concluded with the hashtags, “#fashionfail #nearmiss #neckscarf #safetyfirst.”

Following the post, many of Moulton’s Instagram followers expressed their shock at the near miss.

“Eli! That is frightening. Looks sore too. Hope you are ok x,” one person wrote.

“😮 You poor thing! Jeepers, Eli! 🖤,” a second added.

A third commented, “She’s a fighter. No scarf will break her. But also .. I cried when you told me. Glad we still have each other xx.”

Moulton also shared another video of her injury on her Instagram Stories following her post, per 7News.

“Not even the Paris filter can help me,’ Eli joked, adding, “We are off to get this medically dressed—don’t worry folks. My spirits are still high. Thriving and surviving.”

In a previous post, Moulton shared a carousel of photos from her night at the Glenelg BMW.

“Made it out of the house for what was an incredible night at the opening of @glenelgbmw 🥂,” her caption read. “Thank you to our chauffeur for getting us to the event on time because god knows that if I had to drive I would have arrived 2 hours late, on empty…with a flat tyre.”

She added, “Wearing @plusone_dresshire Tinsley Tube Dress size 14 because that’s where we are at & I felt a million bucks in this beautiful gown. Big thank you to @sassafraspr for always sending it in style!”
