Details of Event
Deceased was crushed against a full tram by an empty journey, which got off the rails as it was being drawn into the parting. He heard the journey leave the rails and he sent a haulier to signal "stop" to the engineman, but the signalling apparatus is alleged to have suddenly got out of order.
