At 1:15pm on June 24, 2010, miner Bobby Smith, Jr. at the Leeco #68 Mine was operating his continuous mining machine for a right side cut. As he finished he angled the machine to the left and moved along the right side of the machine to remove some gob (loose coal). He was struck and pinned between the machine’s cable extender (electrical connection) and the wall, which also severed the electrical connection for the mining machine. When help arrived, a scoop and shuttle machine were needed to free Smith. A mine emergency technician applied CPR and an AED to try and revive the victim. He was pronounced dead a few hours later. Smith had 12 years of experience and is survived by his wife and three children.
The investigation determined that all the equipment was in proper working order at the time of the accident, and the root cause was Smith allowing himself to be positioned in the red (unsafe) zone for the equipment. In response to the investigation, the mine has agreed to install a proximity detection system on all new and rebuilt continuous mining machines.
