Details of Event
Deceased, an experienced rider, was taking a journey of empty trams along a main level and when he passed a light carrier he was riding with his legs outside the tram. When the journey arrived at its destination without a rider a search was made and he was found lying on the side of the road. He was conscious and said that he had struck his head against a pair of timber. The roadway was 10ft. wide and 6ft. 2ins. high. He should have ridden on the rope or in one of the trams.
