Inquiry starts into soldier's truck death

Written By Unknown on Minggu, 07 April 2013 | 13.23

A COMMISSION of inquiry will begin investigating the circumstances of a young Victorian military engineer's death during a training exercise.

Sapper Jordan Penpraze, 22, died three days after he was involved in a truck crash during a defence exercise at Sydney's Holsworthy Barracks in October last year.

The Defence Department said a commission of inquiry into the death begins in Sydney on Monday at 10am (AEST).

Retired magistrate and coroner Warren Cook, will preside over the inquiry along with Lieutenant Colonel Andrew Herbert and Major Jamie Cotton.

As a trainee combat engineer in the Australian Army, Mr Penpraze had been looking forward to deployment in Afghanistan - building bridges and clearing roads of improvised explosive devices and minefields.

But the Victorian soldier died on home soil, the same week he was due to graduate from the Australian Army School of Military Engineering.

Sapper Penpraze was one of 18 soldiers thrown from the open-top Unimog troop carrier when it careened off the road and rolled several times.

The Defence Department said the hearings will be open to the public, as much as possible.
