## Narrative
TL*THE CONTACT'S FATHER OWNED A 1995 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS.  WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE DRIVER VEERED OFF THE ROAD AND DROVE OVER A 10-INCH GAP, WHICH FLATTENED THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AND REAR TIRES.

THE CONTACT'S BROTHER BELIEVED THAT THE DEATH WAS DUE TO A MISSING PILLAR ON THE ROOF'S STRUCTURE.  THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED.  THE VIN APPEARED TO BE INVALID.  THE ENGINE SIZE, POWERTRAIN, AND NUMBER OF CYLINDERS WERE UNKNOWN.  THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 400.
