Details of Event
On his way out to the pit after finishing his shift he was run over by a full journey on the engine plane. There appears to have been great want of discipline and order with regard to the men going up the incline at the end of the shift, the deceased having been passed by a number of men in their wild rush without being seen. (Mechanical haulage).
