KENTUCKY REMAINS IDENTIFIED AS FBI FUGITIVE WHO VANISHED NEARLY 25 YEARS AGO
The leak at the D.B. Wilson Generating Station caused dusty conditions around the plant and prompted police to divert traffic and warn motorists of low visibility.
Three workers at a Kentucky power plant were hospitalized following a coal ash leak.
Ohio County Sheriff Adam Wright said a valve inside the silo became stuck open. Three workers went to loosen the valve, and one became stuck under a coal ash pile during the repair. The other two escaped but returned to help him, Wright told WSAZ-TV. The plant's emergency response team arrived and pulled the third worker out, and all three were sent to the hospital.
Wright said the men's conditions were not known Wednesday afternoon. The plant was back at full operation, he said.
