ZHENGZHOU -- One person was killed and another injured in a coal mine cave-in in central China's Henan Province, local authorities said on Sunday.

The accident happened at around 4 pm Saturday, when 34 people just finished their shift in the shaft of the Yangcheng No. 2 Coal Mine in Dengfeng city.

Thirty-two miners escaped while two others were trapped, said Li Weiguang, Dengfeng's vice mayor.

One of the trapped died after being pulled out and rushed to hospital. The other, who suffered a broken arm, was transferred to a hospital in Zhengzhou, capital of Henan and some 90 kilometers away from the mine.

The mine was collectively owned with an annual output of 600,000 tons. It was undergoing an overhaul.

Dengfeng is the location of the famous Shaolin Temple.
