TALLMANSVILLE, W.Va. - An explosion at a coal mine trapped 13 miners more than a mile underground, a county emergency official said Monday.

The explosion happened about 8 a.m. at the Sago Mine in Upshur County, said Steve Milligan, deputy director of the county’s Office of Emergency Management. Six miners made it out of the mine and refused treatment.

The trapped miners’ condition was not immediately known as an attempt by four coworkers to reach them was unsuccessful, Milligan said.
