A truck loaded at the No.2 belt had been moved forward a few yards and stood in such a position that a truck deceased was moving forward from No.1 belt would not clear it and this deceased recognised after the truck he was engaged with began to move and he attempted to stop it by getting in between the trucks and applying the brake deceased was so crushed that he died the same day.
