AUTHORITIES are investigating a mining fatality in eastern Kentucky after a bulldozer went over an embankment while grading a road.
The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) says the bulldozer operator was cutting and grading a new road when he lost control and went over an embankment at a surface mine in Perry County on 15 October 2008.
Investigators say the D8 Caterpillar bulldozer flipped over and fell about 14m downwards.
The victim’s name has not been released, and authorities are continuing to investigate the incident.
