Details of Event
A tram was being hauled by a horse and haulier, when the horse stumbled, and fell. The haulier threw the tail end of the tram over the road, detached it from the horse, and then attended to the animal on the ground. Waite came up and thinking the tram was attached to the horse, placed it on the rails, but the tram overcame him on the slight gradient, and so injured him that he died on 21st January, 1910.
