Ancestry.com has the service records for 44000 Canadian soldiers killed in the war. Walt Abbott's file has over 70 pages in it. An inquest was held and the driver was found not at fault.

CMP values here in Australia
According to records unearthed by Gina the typical cost for a Ford chassis was 400 pounds (I don't know where the pound symbol is!) then 50 pounds to assemble it here and a further 400 pounds for the bodywork.
So if you work out the conversion to modern dollar amounts it is quite considerable.
