| Description | |
|
|
At Horden Colliery, Durham, a hewer who had left his work three-quarters of an hour before the proper time was waiting at a stopping place for a men-riding set. He was told by an official that as he was too early he was not to ride. When the set arrived he disregarded this instruction; he apparently extinguished his electric light, waited until the train was in motion again, then attempted to board it. In so doing he sustained injuries which proved fatal.
