#OnThisDay 1921 Joshua Smith, 71, was injured at Camp Hill, #Birmingham, #England.
He wasn't a railway employee - not all cases in our database are - but was working on a road vehicle near the lines. He was knocked down by a loaded wagon.

Omicron BA.5 Now past 325,000 per day setting new records for Scotland and Wales and due to smash U.K. records within a week . Still no public health advice to help ? Thanks for logging with Zoe !
3 Jul 2022
UK cases reach 309,000 cases per day affecting currently over 1 in 20 people as this fifth wave of omicron BA5 shows no signs of slowing and hospitals filling up steadily. Still no signs of advice for the public - as U.K. supposedly the first to beat Covid @Join_ZOE
