At approximately 10:30 a.m. on January 23, 2006, James David Thornsbury, a 72-year old truck driver for TBK Haulage, Inc., was fatally injured while operating a loaded Ford LT 9000 coal truck on the Sassy Coal Co., Inc. underground mine access/haul road. Thornsbury fell from the coal truck while hauling the sixth load of the day down the graded mine road. The rear tandem wheels of the truck overran Thornsbury, resulting in fatal injuries. The accident occurred because the driver fell from the cab while the truck was in motion. A defect with the cab door window crank mechanism contributed to the circumstances leading to the accident.
