Details of Event
Deceased was directing the shunting of some empty trucks which were being pushed into a siding by a locomotive. After signalling to the engineman to come on, deceased appeared to have momentarily forgotten himself and to have stepped on to the wrong road in front of the advancing wagon, which was close behind him. He was knocked down, and received injuries which resulted fatally on the same day.
