The accident happened at about 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, at what will eventually be a hotel next to the casino. An investigation has been started in cooperation with the Spokane Tribe, tribal police and various local, state and tribal agencies.

“This morning we received a call of an accident on our construction sight,” Javier De La Rosa, Spokane Tribe Casino general manager, said at a brief press conference.
