Narrative

The #3 left pillar was being mined and the last run was being taken when a piece of rock measuring approximately 2' thick fell on the head of the miner, causing the miner to get stuck. Then a piece of rock approximately 4' thick x 20' wide fell on the miner causing it to be wedged between the roof and the bottom.
