Dear Dr. Cotnam:

This office has a requirement for a copy of the Post Mortem Examination on Mr. Tim Horton, who died in a motor vehicle accident on the Queen Elizabeth Way near St. Catherines in February, 1974.

Mr. Horton was the driver of a Ford Pantera which went out of control. During the

crash the right front door opened allowing ejection of the driver. A number of the parts and assemblies have been removed from the car for laboratory analysis. To assist in our investigation, it is desirable to ascertain what injuries to the driver may have occurred prior to ejection.

Your assistance in this investigation is sincerely appreciated.

Yours very truly,

Continuity:

The right rear wheel and the car were received on February 22, and February 25, 1974, respectively, from Constable Gula.

~ Description

Findings

DeTomaso Pantera, licence number (1974) 447-SAH New York.

The vehicle was examined to determine whether existing damage or defects were present prior to the accident

and thus could dave been causative or contributive. Therefore, those components which are critical to vehicle control, i.e. steering, tires, suspension and brakes were scrutinized.

The following findings were made:

ST~ERING:

The steering gear box and rack housing were removed from the vehicle and examined. The rack was bent and the housing broken, The left tie rod

was bent and broken at the ball joint.

TIRES:

Three of the four tires were deflated; the fourth, the right rear tire, was partially deflated. Both front tires have gouges in the tread area; one of these, on the left front, penetrates the tire. Deflation of the right front and partial deflation of the right rear tires were caused by breaking of the tire bead seal as evidenced by dirt wedged between tire bead and rim. Approximately one third of the outside flange of the left rear tire is broken off and dented, thus causing deflation of the tire •

3USP3NSION:

The right rear wheel was torn from the car: The lower arm, a casting, is broken near the arm hinge, and the ball joint of the upper arm is torn apart.

BRAKES:

Due to the severing of the right rear wheel, the brake line leading tta the wheel is torn. The left front and rear wheels do not turn freely due to binding of the brake pads on the disc resulting from impact distortion.

CONCLUSION:

All damage described above is characteristic of accident damage. There are no indications that the vehicle went out of control because of a defect existing prior to the accident, or that the damage found was caused by a pre-existing defect.
