Details of Event
While riding in an empty tram which was attached to another containing 9ft timber, one of the pieces slipped and came in contact with an arm of a pair of timbers fixed in the roadway. As the journey advanced, the piece of timber was driven backwards with great force against Dunn, killing him instantaneously.
