With everything given so far, it's not possible to determine truth or fiction beyond doubt.

Additional follow-up to the above.
This question comes up time and time again, and I don't have the time or care to investigate it myself.
But if you want a starting point to investigation, here is a good one.
There is a rather extensive database of vehicular fatalities online.
http://www-fars.nhtsa.dot.gov/Main/index.aspx
It is perfectly probable that NK has given enough specific information which, if true, could link to a single or a few instances in this database. Do a database search based on all relevant information and approximate time frame. If there are no such instances, there is clearly some fibbing going on. If you can narrow it down to one instance or only a few instances, then you are almost there. Record those instances, cross-reference with other data like orbituaries and articles of accident reports in local papers. Then you have a name (at least a surname), a place, a date, an approximate time, etc.

It has to be Shion. There is one scene that pretty much says it all. When Shion throws the pawns to determine who will go first in the game between Ayumi and that guy's brother, look at the scene that immediately follows. She is able to find enjoyment in even the most (seemingly) mundane actions, while other characters are always getting too wound up about other "stuff" to be happy. Just like the young girl in the Yotsuba anime. Those advertisements that say "Enjoy... everything" and show her doing some 'kid' thing and enjoying it immensely.

One day the main received a phone call from some legal or lawyer sounding guy saying he represented so-and-so and wanting the main to return his call. This later got pushed into the background as he had to deal with a more important episode of the girl getting appendicitis. But once the girl recovered, this guy showed up at the main's door and said he represented the girls' father who was doing time and wanted to meet her. The main was very insistent on saying no but the girl wanted to see her father anyways. So the main was obliged to go along with the girl's wishes, and in the end would simply feel obliged to go along to the prison with her.

Injury Severity (-1, 1, 3, 4, 5, 9)
Fire Occurance (1)
Number of Occupants (3, 4, 5, 6, 7)
Display: State, Case Number, Vehicle Number, Person Number, Age, Injury Severity, Number of Occupants, Extrication, Sex, Number of Fatalities in Vehicle
No Display: Fire Occurance
Then scan the list, with additional critierion. For example: look for 3 related individuals with the same case number.
1) injury severity = 4, age > 16, sex = 1
2) injury severity = 4, age > 16, sex = 2
3) extrication != 0, injury severity != 4, sex = 2, 4 >= age >= 8
For 2006, no relevant entries found.
For 2005, no relevant entries found.
I guess you can go back farther, or try turning off the "Fire Occurance", if you are willing to spend a lot more time searching. But look at what he says very carefully. Is it really worth the trouble? This alone should demonstrate that something is not proper.

All the pigs gathered at a local site, this time it was a park within walking distance of "The Daily Pet" to ensure that hay, romaine, and other foods and refreshments were nearby. At the beginning of the event, the pigs congregated into different "preference groups" to indicate which bunny they felt inclined to support. The next thirty minutes was largely a free-for-all, with pigs wheeking, cooing, rumbling and strutting around to show their support for an individual bunny and try to convince those in other groups or yet undecided to also support the bunny they had chosen. After the initial free-for-all, a tally was taken and the big surprise was that support for Yuebing, who lives with Vincent (of Shinsen), had declined to a paltry 4%. Quite a surprise for a bunny who had been favored in local surveys and dubbed a 'frontrunner' by other bunnies and even prominent pigs.
Jo-Jo 35%
Holly 33%
Min-min 16%
Mr. Sparkles 12%
Yue-bing 4%
So Yuebing was eliminated and another 30 minutes followed where many Yuebing supporters joined with "Mr. Sparkles" supporters, Vincent's oldest rabbit. Min-min of h-b fame saw her support fall as her supporters were defecting to the tier 1 race between Jo-Jo and Holly. Another tally taken
reported:
Jo-Jo 39%
Holly 38%
Mr. Sparkles 19%
Min-min 4%
Based on these numbers, delegates were appointed, Min-Min 1 pig, Mr. Sparkles 3 pigs, Holly and Jo-Jo each 6 pigs. After this most pigs left to go to "The Daily Pet" while the few remaining pigs wrapped up the event.
