12 Tourists Rescued at Gold Mine in Colorado After 1 Killed in Accident
A group of 12 tourists had to be rescued from a gold mine in Colorado after one person was killed in an accident. The incident occurred at the Country Boy Mine in Breckenridge, a popular tourist destination for those looking to experience a piece of Colorado’s mining history.
According to reports, the tourists were on a guided tour of the mine when a sudden collapse occurred, trapping them inside. One person was killed in the accident, while the others were left stranded and in need of rescue.
Rescue crews were quickly dispatched to the scene and were able to safely extract all 12 tourists from the mine. The operation was a delicate one, as the mine was unstable and there was a risk of further collapse.
The tourists were all taken to a nearby hospital for evaluation and treatment. Thankfully, none of them suffered serious injuries in the incident. The victim who was killed in the accident has not been identified, and authorities are still investigating the cause of the collapse.
