Details of Event
The deceased was drawing some back props in the goaf when a large piece of stone fell, displacing some timber, and caught and killed him. There were two slips which could not be seen before the stone fell. This is the first fatal accident that has occurred underground at this colliery, and it has been working more than 25 years.
