Details of Event
Deceased was standing on a gangway near the washery, when a runaway bogie from the refuse bing came down and striking another bogie caused it to topple over and crush him against the railing of the gangway. The bogie which run away was from the top of the incline leading to the refuse bing and the cause of it getting away was as the man in charge failing to attach the haulage rope to it.
