(CNN) -- Three people have died in a mining accident in Princeton, Indiana, according to the Gibson County, Indiana, coroner's office.

"At this point we have people trying to retrieve the bodies and we know there was no explosion," said Mike Hurt of the Princeton police.

Hurt said the accident occurred at about 11 a.m. and authorities weren't sure if the cause was an equipment problem or something else.

"Detective Mike Hurt said the people died in a "basket" used to transport people up and down a 600 foot air shaft, but could not confirm if they fell."
