Details of Event
Crushed between buffers of waggons when passing between some stationary waggons to join a labourer emptying dirt from a waggon. A door of a waggon was let down, the door caught the brake, unpinning it and allowing the waggon to close up to the next just as deceased was passing through. Only his head caught between the buffers.
