A Perry County tire employee dies from injuries he received in a freak accident Friday.
56-year-old Eugene Combs was working on an 18-wheeler truck tire, when police say the tire exploded in his face.
Co-workers tell us Combs would have turned 57 this week.
“Anytime you go to work you're not expecting your loved one to be involved in a fatal accident, but this is just an example of how it can happen anytime and anywhere,” Hazard Police Chief Ronnie Bryant said.
Employees tell us the tire blew out in the process of inflation.
