A man installing carpet at a new hotel in Lynnwood was injured this morning when he fell four stories from a window, Lynnwood police said.
The accident occurred about 10 a.m. at a Holiday Inn Express in the 2500 block of 196th Street S.W. The 45-year-old man was offloading carpet that was extended in the air four stories up from the exterior of the building by a forklift. As he was offloading the rolls of carpet he fell from the fourth floor to the sidewalk below.
