Shelley Jory after the Accident HAMPSHIRE powerboat champion Shelley Jory-Leigh has miraculously escaped a dramatic accident – the second in just one month.

Shelley’s boat suddenly dipped into the water at 83 miles per hour causing it to slam to a halt during a race in Sardinia.

Her horrific injuries include a broken nose and two black eyes, but she still managed to radio for help as well as lift Patrick, her co-driver, who was slumped unconscious over the dash.

She said she owes her life to her personal trainer James Seilo, of Catalyst Personal Training: “I should be broken. My body is shaken but it is as solid as a rock and it is because of him. He has probably just saved my life.”
