P.C. Charles E. Brown, (134) attracted to No. 6 Division of the Toronto Police Force, was instantly killed yesterday afternoon about 2.30 o’clock when the motor car which he was driving west on the Lake Shore Road swerved, near Burlington Avenue, in Mimico, and crashed head-on into an eastbound T.T.C. street car. Illustrations above show, at the upper left, a side view of the car in which Brown was driving, alone, this picture showing how virtually all the body of the car was torn off by the force of the crush; the second view, at the lower left, taken from the rear of the vehicle, depicts another angle, with the rear section of the body, seen in the foreground, hanging almost ‘in tatters’ from the frame of the car. At the upper right is a photograph off the victim, P. C. Brown, who was married five months ago. He served overseas in the C.E.F., joining the police on his return in 1919, and was stationed during his period of service in the western portions of the city. The street car into which Brown’s vehicle crashed head-on was damaged about the front vestibule and operating platform, windows being broken, but no injuries to passengers of crew of he street car were reported.
