A West Virginia mine rescue team is searching an abandoned coal mine for a man who was reported missing.
“One gentleman did come out of the mine,” said Eugene White, director of the state Office of Miners’ Health Safety and Training. “They arrested him. He said ‘My buddy was with me and I don’t know where he went.’
The issue arose Monday when a woman parked on mine property, White said. Officials approached to ask why she was there.
“This lady was confused and said her friends were in the abandoned mine,” White said.
State Miner's Health, Safety and Training director Eugene White says in a news release the effort began Thursday with Blackhawk Mining to enter the company's former underground mine in Wharton. The mine was closed in 1998 and has been sealed.
The statement says law enforcement efforts to locate the man above ground were exhausted Wednesday. The statement didn't release the man's name.
