Two miners dead after their vehicle plummets 82ft down a hole in 'devastating' tragedy

Two miners have been found dead after their utility vehicle plummeted down an 82ft hole while deep underground.

Dylan Langridge, 33, and Trevor Davis, 36, were about 125 metres (407ft) underground when they fell into the void at the Dugald River zinc mine near Cloncurry, Queensland in Australia on Wednesday.

It is thought the ground suddenly gave way underneath them, creating a large hole that swallowed the vehicle, a drill rig, and the drill rig operator, who was rescued the same day with only minor injuries.
