2 Soldiers Dead After Vehicle Accident in Kuwait

Capt. Alice Yoo, a spokeswoman for U.S. Army Central Command, confirmed to that two soldiers, who are a part of the 657th Transportation Detachment, died Tuesday morning in a crash in Kuwait.  She would not confirm any specifics. The incident is now under investigation by multiple entities, Yoo said.

Sgt. Holli Bolinski, 37, of Pickneyville, was one of the soldiers killed. Bolinski participated in near-daily equipment runs to and from the Camp Arifjan, where the unit is assigned.

Bolinski’s husband, Robert, said Sgt. Bolinski was returning from a mission when a large vehicle ran a stop sign and broadsided the vehicle with the soldiers. Holli Bolinski was a mother of five.
