Details of Event
15 September 1931: Run Over By Waggons - A similar verdict [formal verdict at a FAI] was returned in the case of Gavin Currie, locomotive driver, 23 Durward Street, Lochore, who died on 15th September at Lochore Colliery, from injuries received by him in the course of his industrial employment by being run over by a number of railway waggons. Evidence was given that the accident was probably caused by deceased slipping on the rising ground and falling under one of the waggons when he was assisting in the shunting of waggons in the siding. Deceased, when found, was lying on the south rail with his legs badly fractured. The shunting pole he was using was also fractured. [Dunfermline Journal 3 October 1931]
