Details of Event
He was found dead with his head tinder the buffer of the first of five full hutches standing on a gradient of about 1 in 25. Probably he was attempting to lift a hutch on the road which was the first of a rake of six hutches, and having spragged the five hutches above mentioned, he slipped and knocked out the sprag and allowed the five hutches to run forward on to him.
