A military van driven by a soldier from the Karelia Brigade crashed into a ditch on Rämäläntie near Highway 15 in Kouvola on Tuesday night. The accident occurred around eleven o'clock in the evening, and fortunately, there were no injuries reported. The soldier was alone in the vehicle at the time of the incident.

Emergency services, including the police and an ambulance, responded quickly to the accident scene. However, the soldier did not require medical attention and was able to return to his unit later that night, further highlighting the lack of serious consequences from the incident. The swift response by emergency services likely assisted in ensuring that the situation was managed effectively without escalation.

The military van is scheduled to be removed from the ditch on Wednesday morning. This incident serves as a reminder of the potential hazards faced by military personnel during transportation and may prompt discussions about safety measures while operating military vehicles, especially in adverse conditions.
