Sorry to hear about your friend Roaldin.
Weren't colapsable steering columns made mandatory on all cars from the late 60s on?

It was a long time ago now. The car was from that era.
I don't know when they became mandatory but my guess would be around 1972. I had a 1970 Datsun 1600 at the time and it didn't have one. After the accident I swapped the column for a 180b version which did collapse. 180bs were produced from 1973 from memory.
