No. 229 on the list occurred at Trimdon Grange Colliery on the 29th May and caused the death of a mason's labourer. Two trucks were being lowered down from the sidings to near the coke ovens by a run rider when the deceased, for some unexplained reason, picked up a 4-feet prop and attempted to put it into the first wheel of the second truck. He, however, did not get it properly in and it swung round and knocked him under the wheel and he was so severely injured that he died the following day at Hartlepool Hospital. There was nothing wrong with the way or the trucks and the gradient was only 1 in 240 so that it was not necessary for him to put the sprag in the wheel. He afterwards said he thought he heard someone shout asking him to do so but there was no evidence of anyone having done so.
