A 3rd Infantry Division soldier died when he was struck by an M2 Bradley during a training exercise Wednesday at approximately 4:30 a.m, at the National Training Center.

The deceased is Spc. Adrian Bonsey, 29, a combat engineer with the 9th Engineer Battalion, 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division.

“This is a devastating loss for our entire division," said Maj. Gen. John Lubas, the 3rd ID commanding general. "Adrian was an exceptional soldier who was committed to our mission and proudly serving our Nation. We are heartbroken and will wrap our arms around his family, loved ones and fellow soldiers during this difficult time.”

Bonsey was performing his duties on foot in the training area during hours of limited visibility when the incident occurred.
