A teeenager has given a warning of the dangers of body piercing after she was skewered by her belly button stud in a car crash

Jessica Collins, 19, was left fighting for her life when the silver stud in her belly button pushed through her body - ending up just millimetres away from her spine.

Doctors say her injury was like a bullet wound fired from point blank range. Art student Jessica underwent three hours of life-saving surgery to remove the stud.
