Anyone recognise this accident? Or is it made up?

I'd agree with treadigraph and DVDT's find, these are based on a book and likely to be composite/modified accounts to anonymise them preserving the essential facts on distress and trauma. The issue here is organisations not making that clear when they present abridged sections of the book. Worth some caution on avoiding libellous comments. The author's description from Faber and Faber:

I doubt she would want to draw attention to herself and this fiction with a lawsuit.
