{Eccles, West Virginia}...Gregory A. Byers, 43, of Beckley, died Tuesday afternoon after being injured at Arch Coal's Beckley Pocahontas Mine near Eccles in Raleigh County. MSHA officials say Byers was near a scoop at the battery charging station when a second scoop struck the scoop beside him, causing it to slide against Byers, pinning him. Byers was taken to a hospital in Beckley and then transferred to CAMC in Charleston, where he died from his injuries. This is the fourth mining fatality in West Virginia in 2012.
