Harlan County Miner Killed
KENTUCKY....
A Harlan County miner was killed about 3:30 p.m. Wednesday afternoon at the Clover Fork Number One Mine after a steel beam fell on top of him. The victim suffered injuries when a coal rib roll struck a support that was holding a steel beam. The beam then fell and hit the victim, who was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators of mine safety and licensing are conducting an investigation, and the mine will be shut down while the investigation takes place. The death is the fourth mine-related fatality in Kentucky in 2010.
