STOLLINGS, W.Va. (WSAZ) - The name of a West Virginia coal miner who was killed in a work-related accident has been released.

A spokeswoman for the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration says Ricky Collins died while working on a trailer at a railroad crossing near Stollings in Logan County Thursday.

Spokeswoman Amy Louviere says he worked at Massey Energy's Freeze Fork Surface Mine in Logan County.

MSHA is not investigating the accident because it did not occur on mine property.

Logan Emergency Ambulance Service Authority operations chief Dave Maynard says something fell from the trailer and hit the man in the face.

Massey operates 19 mining complexes in West Virginia, Kentucky
and Virginia.
