Details of Event
Haulage Accidents (b) Run over or crushed by trams or tubs – He was going up a main cousie brae on his way to work at the same time as a rake was arriving at the brae head from a branch cousie. A tub became detached from this rake and ran down the main cousie. Deceased was caught by the runaway, and although the injuries inflicted appeared to be slight he died about two hours later. The necessary signals for men to travel on the cousie had been given, but it is probable the stop blocks at the brae head were not closed
