|
The last case occurred at the Derwent Colliery, belonging to Messrs. The Consett Iron Company, Limited. A waggon greaser was under the screens, unknown to anyone. The truckman brought three trucks down, first seeing that no one was in the way. As he came down on the trucks he felt the one he was riding on jump. Afterwards he went back and found the waggons had run over the waggon greaser and killed him. Under screens is no place to grease trucks, and the man really ought not to have been there.
