US soldier dies in training accident in Hungary
Sgt. Aaron Cox died on Thursday as a result of a vehicle accident during training near Camp Croft, Hungary during preparations for the upcoming Exercise Saber Guardian 25 in Hungary, according to Army officials. Cox, 24, was identified on Saturday. 'We are in direct contact with his family, for care and support that they need during this difficult time. We would like to thank our Hungarian Allies for their prompt response and support to our Soldiers,' Col. Duke Reim, said in a statement sent to The Hill. The Exercise Saber Guardian 25 is set to enhance NATO's land component mission command through long tactical marches, river crossings, live fire events and a rocket live-fire over the Black Sea to improve service members' abilities to help the United States defend Allies. Cox joined the Army in 2021 and was enlisted in the 101st Airborne Division, which specializes in air assault, during the time of his passing. He received the National Defense Service Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, the Expert Infantryman Badge and the Air Assault Badge for his service. 'The loss of Sgt. Cox is a tragedy for all of us on the Strike team. He was a strong Soldier and leader, who quickly rose through the ranks while serving,' Reim said. The accident remains under investigation after response teams worked together for a week to recover the vehicle from a peat bog, CBS reported. They used specialized equipment to drain water from the side and 'stabilize the ground,' to pull the 70-ton vehicle ashore, the outlet said.

Man charged in deadly crash that killed Endicott police sergeant extradited to N.H.
The man accused in a deadly crash that killed an Endicott police sergeant was arrested and extradited to New Hampshire on Friday. According to New Hampshire State Police, officers obtained an extraditable arrest warrant in December and charged Keoma Duarte, 40 of New Bedford with two felony counts of reckless conduct and one misdemeanor count of disobeying an officer. Prosecutors say Keoma Duarte was so drunk the night before Thanksgiving that officers could smell the alcohol on him as they worked to free him from his crumpled Tesla on Interstate 95 near Newbury. Duarte's Tesla had slammed head-on into a car that Endicott College Police Sgt. Jeremy Cole was driving, killing the 49-year-old husband and father of four as he drove home from work. Duarte, 40, was arraigned on vehicular homicide and manslaughter charges from his hospital bed in December. He spoke only once, acknowledging he could hear the judge. On June 3rd, NH troopers traveled to Bristol County Jail and House of Correction in Massachusetts and took Duarte into custody. Duarte was then transported back to New Hampshire, where he was held at the Rockingham County Department of Corrections ahead of arraignment on Wednesday, June 4, 2025, in Hampton District Court. Jeremy Cole was a police sergeant at Endicott College. News of his death shook the close-knit community of students and staff. The crash remains under investigation. This is a developing story.
