A worker died and another critically injured in an accident early Sunday at a giant U.S.-owned mine in Indonesia's easternmost Papua province, police and company officials said, according to AP. Two Indonesian workers were passing a road on their way to a loading area when liquid ore material mixed with rocks suddenly flowed into their truck at the Grasberg mine, said Papua police spokesman Lt. Col. Sulistyo Pudjo Hartono. It is run by Phoenix, Arizona-based Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. He said rescuers and other workers managed to pull the two from mound of mining materials, but one of them has died while another rushed to a hospital in critical condition.
