FORT BRAGG, N.C. — A Fort Bragg soldier is dead and at least four more were injured during a military vehicle accident Monday afternoon, base officials said.

The incident occurred around 1 p.m. local time on Butner Road, near Wilson Park.

“This was a tough day here on Fort Bragg,” Col. Joe Buccino, a spokesperson said. “It was a tough day for all of us. Our immediate thoughts right now are on the Family, the men and women of the 16th Military Police Brigade, and the injured Soldiers. Anytime you lose a Soldier on-post in a situation outside of combat, it hurts. It’s a tragic loss. There will be a time for investigating the cause and nature of this accident, but right now we’re focusing our attention on the troops and Families.”
