ONE person has been killed and two others injured in a truck crash involving Australian forces in East Timor, Network Ten says.


The Australian Defence Force confirmed that personnel from the Australian-led International Stabilisation Force (ISF) had been involved in an incident involving a motor vehicle.

Sky News is reporting the individual is understood to be an army reservist.

“Defence cannot provide any further details at this time,” an ADF spokeswoman said today.
