Dragged: A Survivor’s Story tells the brutally honest account of a young woman’s survival after being dragged 780 metres beneath a taxi — a story of courage, resilience, and the will to live.

13 September 2011. The story shocked thousands and would be remembered for years to come. It was plastered across newspapers and continued to attract attention long after the initial shock had faded. Reports and articles were written, and “facts,” as given to reporters by some of those involved and willing to be interviewed, were recounted and repeated across public media in the months and years that followed. Although these versions generated widespread outrage, none were entirely accurate.

“The stories were about me. I was there. I am Kim McCusker — the girl who was dragged by a taxi. This, as I experienced it, is the true version of events.”
