Details of Event
Deceased, after being stopped on the road through a full tub coming off the rails, started his horse again and then attempted to jump on to the limbers. He was beard shouting ‘I can't get on the limbers,' when immediately his head was caught between the side of the tub and a prop close to the tub side. A brattice sheet was hanging on this prop partially hiding it from view.
