Details of Event
Deceased was engaged making an airway through an old level which had fallen. He filled the debris into tubs and widened the road by taking coal off one side. Underneath a huge stone lying on the pavement was some coal and he went under to get the coal when the stone broke in two and fatally crushed him.
