The Queensland mining regulator has effectively stopped most operations at a Queensland coal mine after two fatalities occurred on site within weeks of each other.
A male worker at Byerwen Mine was killed on Thursday when two vehicles, including a truck, collided in the Bowen Basin about 160km west of Mackay.
Resources Safety and Health Queensland (RSHQ) ordered the mine to suspend the use of all heavy vehicles at the coal mine after the second fatal incident.
