Details of Event
A tram having got off the rails in consequence of the dirty condition of the road he and others were trying to get it on again when apparently it slewed round or fell slantwise and crushed him causing death on the spot. This accident seems attributable to the dirty and untidy state of the road the space outside the rails being filled with rubbish to such a height that anything dropping there would roll onto the rails.
