Tearful end to search for Peter Morgan. It is believed a section of the quarry fell on the machine he was operating, while he was supposedly awaiting fuel, on Saturday evening.

His father Carol Morgan was hopeful for his son’s safety. Meanwhile, he is also raising concerns about the conditions that led to the accident, as he says he does not believe the area is fit for mining.
