A miner at CONSOL Energy’s Loveridge Mine who was critically injured earlier this week has died, company officials said.
Glen Clutter, 51, of Baxter, was hurt when a slate bar hit him in the head when a car derailed at the Miracle Run end of the underground mine near Fairview in Monongalia County.
Officials said the incident happened at about 9:30 p.m. Tuesday. Clutter was knocked unconscious and had to be flown to Ruby Memorial Hospital.
Clutter later died of his injuries.
Clutter previously worked at the Blacksville No. 1 mine in Monongalia County. He worked at Loveridge for the past ten years.
CONSOL said it will stop operations at the mine until 4 p.m. out of respect for Clutter and his family.
Spokeswoman Lynn Seay said her thoughts and prayers are with the Clutter family.

Stop operations out of respect, then put the lash to the workers afterwards to make up for down time. How many people have to die for these companies?
