No. In this case it is called fabrication because the "facts" of the story are internally contradictory. All passengers in the two vehicles could not have been killed instantly without there being any deaths occurring in the crash. You could not have seen something that you did not see. These are the claims you have made about your story. We don't have to know what happened to know that your story is false, and emotional content is irrelevant to the falseness of your story.
And even if we accept there was a true event the memory is about we can tell from all the changing aspects of the story that the memory is not trustworthy. And with that in mind all parts of it including the claimed premonition become meaningless. If I was trying to tell someone a story and I was that wildly off over two retellings I would think that my memory was wrong not try and force others to agree that I must be right.
