Thomas Green
| Age: | 50 |
| Died: | 8th Nov 1924 |
| Accident: | 3rd Nov 1924 2.0 a.m., 2nd hour of shift |
| Year Born: | abt. 1874 |
| Colliery: | St. Helens, 'Crop and Deep' |
| Company: | St. Helens Collieries Co., Ltd. |
| Occupation: | Haulage Engineman |
| Notes: | The deceased received injuries from which he died five days later. A set consisting of 18 tubs had been hauled out by the electric hauler and the rope disconnected. As the tubs did not run so far as usual, the deceased and a fireman proceeded to push the set a few yards, and while so engaged the former, apparently in order to support himself, placed one hand on the sheet iron covering suspended from the fence rail, The sheet iron slipped along the rail from which it was suspended and canted out obliquely at the bottom and thus came in contact with the moving tubs. The impact with the tubs resulted in the sheet iron pinning the deceased against the end of the engine house. His injuries were not considered very serious at the time, but it was afterwards found that his pelvis was fractured. He died on 8th November from pneumonia, accelerated by the accident |
