The soldiers were travelling between Ma'sum Ghar and Patrol Base Wilson, southwest of Kandahar city, when the accident happened around 3:30 p.m, said Lt. Chris Courtemanche, a military public affairs officer at the Kandahar Air Field. The soldiers' injuries are considered minor, and they were evacuated by helicopter to the multi-national hospital at the air field for treatment. They are expected to return to active duty with the 2nd Battalion of the Royal Canadian Regiment battle group. Military police were investigating the circumstances of the accident, which Courtemanche said did not involve any Afghan civilians. No further details were released. In February, three LAV-3s collided with each other, with soldiers suffering only minor injuries. In March of 2006, a LAV-3 collided with a taxi and rolled over, killing two soldiers and wounding six.
