Details of Event
The waggon rider was bringing down two waggons of bricks to the tip end for the mason's labourers to empty. He was standing clear when the waggons passed him but he picked up a prop and tried to put it into one of the wheels and was knocked down and fatally injured. There was no necessity for him to do what he did.
