One man is dead after a coal mining accident in West Virginia.

It happened Friday night at a surface mine in nearby McDowell County West Virginia. Danny Jones was killed when he got out of a coal truck while it was still moving. The truck ran over him.

This was Jones' first shift driving the truck by himself.

The mine has been closed until an investigation into the accident can be completed.
