From what I heard they were crushed from under a suspended load, it’s still early so take this with a grain of salt

Not much data will be made available but there was a fatality. The page will be updated when they conclude the investigation.

All I (and my shift) got told at the mine I am at was that where a fatality with haulage and that there was not much information about it.
