A worker is dead after a stone mine collapsed in southwestern Pennsylvania Friday, officials said.
The roof of the Laurel Aggregates' Lake Lynn mine in Springhill Township collapsed Friday afternoon, trapping a miner, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection.
Late Friday night, the miner was pronounced dead at the scene after being pulled from the debris, Pennsylvania DEP said.
"DEP believes this was caused by a portion of the mine roof falling onto equipment that the individual was working in," the agency said in a statement.
