Details of Event
This accident was caused by an act of forgetfulness on the part of the rider of an auxiliary haulage who omitted to reset the pointers of a branch dip after passing through them, with the consequence that the main journey instead of keeping to the main dip, turned into the branch road, and ran over deceased who was cleaning the road a short distance below the pointers.
