Details of Event
Two trams were supported by a prop fixed at an angle between the floor and a couch in the roof on a cross-measure drift dipping 15 inches in the yard. The prop slipped away as the upper tram was being filled with stones and both trams ran down 5 feet, crushing him against the face.
