The Washington Post reports that the other worker, whose name wasn't immediately released, was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
A preliminary police investigation and a review of evidence by the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration determined that the wall collapsed while workers were trying to shore up another part of the trench.
