an killled in 401 stunt
Toronto — A Toronto man fell to his death from a moving vehicle on Highway 401 Sunday, snarling traffic and prompting a search for the minivan he was riding in.
Witnesses said Daniel John Mason, 23, appeared to be climbing onto the roof of the van when he fell to the road. The van did not stop.
Witnesses pulled over and gave him first aid, but Mason died shortly after.
The highway was closed just east of the Highway 400 ramp for several hours following the 2 p.m. incident as police investigated.
An autopsy performed Monday found that Mason died from blunt force trauma to the head.
Police continued to look for the van's driver Monday. They said foul play was not suspected. Submitted on 03/10/2003
