On 10 May 2016, whilst on a sabbatical teaching English as a second language in Ha Long, Vietnam, whilst riding as a pillion passenger on a motorbike taxi, Inglis's skirt got caught in the wheel, pulling her off the motorcycle. Her sister Stacey later told the BBC News Victoria Derbyshire programme that Inglis was in a coma and "in a very critical state."

The family were told that Inglis did not have the correct travel insurance to cover the cost of her medical treatment in Vietnam. As a result, an online fundraising page was created on the GoFundMe fundraising website to help pay for her treatment. By the end of July it had raised more than £320k.
