One of two workers injured in a West Vancouver construction accident on Tuesday remains in hospital with serious injuries, according to WorkSafeBC.

Workers were unloading a pallet of roll of vinyl flooring from the trailer of a transport truck on Morven Drive around 12:40 p.m. when a pallet lost its load.

"It didn't land on them but it hit them on the way down," said Alexandra Skinner-Reynolds, communications officer.

There were 11 rolls on the pallet, each weighing about 250 pounds, Skinner-Reynolds said.

The other employee was treated and released from Lions Gate Hospital.

The flooring materials are for an expansion of Collingwood School.
