EE was welding an I Beam onto the highwall miner. As he was doing this, a piece of coal about the size of a football, fell from the highwall and struck EE in the back. He was transported by vehicle to St. Marys Hospital in Lafollette, TN. After x-rays, EE was diagnosed with a deep bruise to the back and no bones broken. EE did not start to lose time til 5/4/07.
