FRANKFORT, Ky. (Nov. 10, 2026) – A 25-year-old coal truck driver was fatally injured yesterday at Cranks Creek Mine, owned by Nally and Hamilton Enterprises, Inc.

At approximately 7 a.m., Benjamin Slusher, of Flat Lick, was fatally injured while leaving Cranks Creek Mine along the mine’s access and haul road. He was employed by Wolfhill Transport.

“Please join Britainy and me as we pray for Benjamin’s family during this challenging time,” said Gov. Andy Beshear. “This tragedy is a difficult reminder of the dangers that those working in the coal mining industry face each day.”

The site has been closed, and the accident is under investigation by the Kentucky Department for Natural Resources, Division of Mine Safety.
