Miller had been out moving brush near his residence on Missouri Fork when it turned over on the hillside.

He was taken to Charleston General Hospital, where he has been taken out of ICU and moved to a general hospital bed.

A Brohard, Wirt County man was injured in a timber accident earlier this week. Calhoun EMS responded to the accident.
