Soldier charged with dangerous driving occasioning death NSW Police have charged a 21-year-old soldier over his alleged role in a training accident that killed his colleague Jordan Penpraze last year. Sapper Alex Gall was arrested at a Sydney police station earlier today and charged with several counts of dangerous driving occasioning death and grievous bodily harm in relation to the vehicle crash in October 2012. It is alleged that Sapper Gall was driving a troop carrier containing 18 soldiers in an early-morning training exercise at the Holsworthy Barracks, in the city's south-west, when he failed to negotiate a turn in the road. The open-top Unimog troop carrier hit a tree and overturned, throwing 15 of the soldiers, including Sapper Penpraze, out of the vehicle. The 21-year-old trainee combat engineer was rushed to hospital but died three days later, the same week he was due to graduate from the Australian Army School of Military Engineering. He had previously been described as a promising young soldier who had only enlisted six months earlier. Sapper Gall has been granted bail to appear in Sydney's Downing Centre local court on September 16.
