HAZARD, Ky. (AP) -- State officials say a crane accident at a mining site in southeastern Kentucky has fatally wounded a worker.
WYMT-TV in Hazard reports that two workers were hurt around 6 p.m. EST Monday at a mine on High Rock Road in Perry County.
The station reports that one person was flown to the University of Tennessee in Knoxville and the other was taken by ground ambulance to University of Kentucky Hospital in Lexington.
Dick Brown, a spokesman with the state's Energy and Environment Cabinet, says one of the workers has died. Brown says state officials did not know the name of the mining company or what kinds of injuries the workers suffered.
