Details of Event
Deceased and his assistant were sitting on a tool box on the side of a parting when an empty journey was run in. One of the tram wheels flew off and the axle worked out so that it caught against the box on which he sat. He was thrown under the journey and fatally injured. The assistant’s leg was fractured.
