A US Army soldier has died and another was hospitalised following a training accident near Camp Croft, a NATO military base located close to Veszprém, Hungary. The incident occurred during a scheduled exercise on 5 June.

According to an official statement by the US Army, the soldiers were involved in a vehicle rollover at approximately 1:00 PM Central European Time. One of them was critically injured and airlifted to a local hospital by helicopter, but later succumbed to his injuries. The second soldier, who sustained potentially serious injuries, was transported by ambulance to a different hospital, where he was reported to be in stable condition and kept overnight for observation.
