A U.S soldier died earlier this week when the Stryker armored vehicle they were in was hit by reportedly a semi-truck while the Stryker merged onto the northbound Autobahn 93 around 11:15am Tuesday morning in Bavaria,  Germany, near Tirschenreuth. The soldier who died has been identified as 24-year-old First Lt. Hailey Hodsden, a platoon leader with the 2nd Cavalry Regiment and a native of Dripping Springs, Texas. Hodsden was reportedly looking out of an open hatch on the Stryker when the collision occurred.
