A late night training accident turned deadly, with one Fort Carson soldier dying and six others suffering injuries in a vehicle rollover accident on the Colorado base, the U.S. military said Saturday.
The accident -- which is still under investigation -- happened around 10 p.m. Friday (midnight ET), according to a military statement.
All of the injured, including one in critical condition, were medically evacuated. The military hasn't identified them or the soldier killed, waiting on next-of-kin notification.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with those affected by this tragedy," the military said.
Located just outside Colorado Springs, Fort Carson is home to a number of Army units including the 4th Infantry Division.

This is a true story about our army. I hardly can believe that we are spending 55% of the whole budget for the needs of armed forces. What a pitty! How it could even happen in American army? R.I.P.
