Indonesian bulldozer driver killed in gold mine plunge

TIMIKA, Indonesia: A bulldozer driver whose machine plunged into a gold mine in Indonesia has died, the site’s US owner said Tuesday, the latest in a string of deaths at the pit.

Police said the road the vehicle was traveling on had given way under its weight, sending the bulldozer tumbling 20 meters into the open-pit mine at Grasberg, one of the world’s biggest gold and copper ventures.
