A mining company employee was crushed to death in an accident involving a shuttle car in a western Pennsylvania mine, authorities said.

LCT Energy said in a statement that the man became trapped between the car and an interior wall of the company’s Maple Springs mine near Hollsopple on Monday.

The Somerset County coroner, Cullen Swank, identified the man as 37-year-old Brandon Frederick and said he sustained multiple blunt force injuries. The death was ruled accidental. The state Department of Environmental Protection has ordered the operators of the Conemaugh Township mine to temporarily cease operations in the affected section. The department said inspectors are interviewing mine personnel and beginning the underground portion of their investigation to determine whether corrective actions are needed.
