Details of Event
A full tub was being jigged against an empty one in a roadway dipping at 1 in 2. A pair of rails had been attached to the back of the empty tub which made landing difficult. It got off the road near the top knocking a prop out standing in the centre, liberating a large quantity of roof which fell and killed the deputy who was assisting there.
