In 1830 Huskinson attended the opening of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. Leaving his carriage to greet Wellington, hoping to repair their relationship, he realised he was on the tracks in front of the oncoming 'Rocket', George Stephenson's pioneering locomotive. He attempted to climb back into the Duke's carriage, but the door swung open, leaving him dangling. He was hit by the Rocket, mangling one of his legs, dying several hours later, becoming the world's first widely reported railway passenger casualty.
