Details of Event
Crushed by trams on the endless rope haulage road about 250 yards from No.2 pit bottom in the "hard seam where he, a collier, was engaged for the day as clipper in the absence of another man. Some confusion occurred with the signals, which apparently brought about the accident, but the responsibility could not be brought home to any individual.
