A soldier has died after a road traffic accident in southern Iraq,
the Ministry of Defence (MoD) said.

The soldier, from the Badger Squadron, 2 Royal Tank Regiment,
died as a result of a road traffic accident involving a Warrior
armoured vehicle in the As Sarraji district south of Basra.

The soldier's next of kin have been informed and have requested
a period of grace before further details are released, the MoD
said.

The soldier was in the Warrior when it rolled off a bridge and
landed in water, an MoD spokeswoman said.
