We'll See About That with Ron Cey Episode 158 We go 76-6 Ron Cey
HILLSBORO — A machinery-related accident late last week at the Deer Run Mine in Hillsboro resulted in a fatality.
Montgomery County Coroner Randy Leetham would issue a confirmation Monday as a work-related fatality. It would also receive confirmation in a recorded report by the Mine Safety & Health Administration (MSHA). MSHA is a division of the U.S. Department of Labor.
The incident occurred on Thursday afternoon, March 5, at 1:20 p.m.
Further details surrounding the cause of the accident are not immediately known.
Meanwhile, a GoFundMe page revealed the identity of the individual who died in the incident as Jessie Smith. That campaign has already raised nearly $23,000 out of a goal of $35,000. The goal intends to pay Smith’s funeral expenses and help support his girlfriend Toree and children Mikayla and Hudsen.
Foresight Energy owns the Deer Run underground coal mine facility.
