Lee Redmond, who had been growing her fingernails since 1979, suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries in a four car pile-up in Salt Lake City in Utah on Tuesday.
Salt Lake County Sheriff's Lt. Don Hutson says Redmond was ejected from an SUV in the crash and taken to the hospital in serious condition. As a result of the crash, her award-winning nails were broken.
The 65-year-old became a Guinness Book of World Records holder in 2006.
Her nails measured a total of more than 28ft, with the longest nail on her right thumb measuring 2ft 11in, according to the Guinness Web site.
She used to soak her nails in olive oil once a week to stop them becoming brittle until they eventually grew too long to fit in the pan.
