Details of Event
31 March 1930: Killed By Runaway Hutch - A hutch-drawer named Peter Dollan (19), residing at 1a Hospital Street, Coatbridge, was fatally injured in No.5 Rosehall Colliery. He was pulling two loaded hutches of pitwood on one of the roads underground when the haulage rope broke and caused the hutches to run back on him. He tried to stop them, but they got derailed, and he was crushed between the hutches and the stone building at the roadside. He died in the Alexander Hospital. [Scotsman 1 April 1930]
