Two home renovation employees are being treated in hospital after their truck rolled down an embankment in the British Properties Wednesday.
The workers were unloading a granite countertop from the back of a pickup truck, which had been parked on the steep driveway of a home on the 1400-block of Bramwell Road just before 1 p.m. on April 8, when the truck started to roll.
“It got away on them,” said West Vancouver Fire and Rescue assistant chief Jeff Bush.
“Two employees were in the back of the truck and rode the truck all the way down. It went down the driveway, across Bramwell, over an embankment, down onto the driveway of the residence below, kept on going and wound up in the creek.”
All told, the vehicle rolled about 30 metres.
One of the men sustained a fracture to his leg. The other received injuries to his torso and legs. The injuries are considered non-life-threatening but both workers were taken away on spine boards as a precaution, Bush said.
WorkSafeBC is investigating the incident.
