A U.S. Army soldier with the 11th Airborne Division was killed and three others — including his spouse and child — were injured Sunday evening in a vehicle collision at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER), Alaska.

A vehicle carrying five soldiers collided with another vehicle while traveling on Arctic Valley Road near Cottonwood Park around 11:30 p.m. 

Two occupants from the first vehicle were ejected.

Another soldier was in the second vehicle with his spouse and child, JBER said.
