Details of Event
Deceased was lowering two trucks into a siding at 6.45 in the morning. There were not any fixed lights in the sidings, and he carried a hand lamp. He was crushed between his own trucks and a truck standing in the next siding, at a point near where the lines converged, the space between the wagons being only 6.5 inches.
