Details of Event
26 November 1921: An accident of a similar nature [to one at Donibristle Colliery] , but with less severe result, has occurred at Kirkford Colliery last week, when Thomas McBride was precipitated from a waggon and was run over. He now lies in a critical condition in the Dunfermline and West Fife Hospital. The mishap was caused by a prop being placed on the line, presumably the mischievous prank of a schoolboy.
