Injured Harlan County Miner Recovering
KENTUCKY....
Thirty-seven year old Lowell Harris of Putney, who was injured when a personnel carrier and a supply hauler collided at Bledsoe Coal Corporation's Abner Branch Mine in Harlan County, could be released by Wednesday. Harris and 27 year old David Estes of Harlan were airlifted to Holston Valley Medical Center in Kingsport, Tennessee after the crash last Wednesday. Estes went home on Saturday. A third miner, 30 year old Michael Peterson of Putney, was released from Harlan Appalachian Regional Hospital last week. The mine, owned by James River Coal Corp., has since reopened.
