In 2011, McCusker and her then-partner were involved in an altercation with a taxi driver. According to the taxi driver, after McCusker's boyfriend threatened him, he jumped into his taxi and sped off, apparently not knowing that he had knocked McCusker over and subsequently got her hooked on the moving vehicle.
McCusker underwent a number of surgeries to repair some of the damage that was caused by the accident and spent three months recovering in hospital. In 2012 she got married to her partner during a touching ceremony where she walked for the first time in a while.
"It is with great sadness that our family shares the news of Kim Mc Cusker’s passing on Thursday 22 April 2021. We are heartbroken and in disbelief, as it is hard to imagine a world without our precious Kimmy who amongst so many other things, was a loving daughter to Doug and Pat, a devoted partner to Anthony, and an incredible sister to Gareth, Ian and me," read a post made by McClusker's sister, Julia Frantzeskou.
