Conscript trapped between tank and wall returns to service

A conscript who was trapped between a tank and a wall at Parolannummi earlier this week is doing well and has returned to service, the Finnish Army said, according to Yle.

The accident happened on Wednesday afternoon as the tank was being driven into a vehicle hall at the Armoured Brigade’s main garrison in Parolannummi, Hattula. The conscript was taken for further treatment after an initial medical assessment.

The Army said on Wednesday that it was investigating the cause of the incident.
