Details of Event
Deceased, having tumbled two empty trams on the side of a rising arched, roadway, to allow the haulier to bring a full tram from the face, stood on the low side of the empty trams while this was being done, instead of getting into a good manhole immediately opposite. The full tram safely passed the first, but struck the second and shifted it forward. Deceased tried to pass the horse, fell, and was run over. The empty tram had been tumbled too near the road.
