Yellow Creek residents Wayne Farrell, 53, and his son-in-law David Jones, 34, were
injured Friday night when a 4 1/2" pipe fell from elevators on a drilling rig in Boone
County. They were making a connection when the accident happened, the elevators
reportedly unlatched.
Farrell received a blow to the head, causing bruising and hemorrhaging to the brain,
in addition to a concussion. He is improving in the trauma unit at Charleston General
Hospital in Charleston.
David Jones was released Saturday morning with a broken collarbone and
lacerations to the face.
The men are employees of Warren Drilling Company.
