Fatality!
MSHA is reporting that on February 19, 2007, a 50 year-old truck driver (working as a car dropper), with 16 years mining experience, was fatally injured at a crushed stone operation. He was moving two loaded railroad cars, by gravity, from the plant area to the main siding. The cars struck a 35-ton haul truck as it crossed the tracks, pinning the car dropper between the lead rail car and the truck. The truck driver received only minor injuries. Your comment?
