AP reported quoted authorities say one miner has been killed and five have been injured in two accidents in Poland.

Mr Krzysztof Krol Regional Mining Office spokesman said that a 43 year old miner died when scaffolding he was dismantling hit him 850 meters below ground in the Makoszowy mine in the southern city of Zabrze.

In a separate incident Monday five miners suffered various injuries when a sudden tremor trapped them 1,000 meters underground at the Bielszowice mine in Ruda Slaska.
