Details of Event
Deceased and another drawer were proceeding to the top of an incline with a loaded tub when it was stopped by some debris and he was making his way round the tub to clear the obstruction, when a stone fell away from the high side and crushed him against the side of the tub. The stone came away at a part of the road where a ‘hitch’ was crossed.
