| Description | |
|
|
A stoneman was killed by an electric shock at Blackhouse Colliery, Durham, when he touched a bare signalling wire. The accident occurred on a Sunday repairing shift in an open light mine in which no electrical power is employed, and was primarily caused by some unknown person breaking an insulator supporting a power cable on the surface by stone throwing, allowing the power cable and signal wire to come into contact.
