FORT LEWIS, Wash. (AP) – Relatives say a Massachusetts soldier based in Washington state has died in a forklift accident in Iraq.

Twenty-four-year-old Sgt. Kyle J. Harrington of Swansea, Mass., died Saturday, during his second tour of duty in Iraq. He was assigned to repair Humvees and other light vehicles as a member of the 593rd Sustainment Brigade at Joint Base Balad.

His wife Faith tells The News Tribune of Tacoma she was told at Fort Lewis that he was fatally hit by a forklift. He leaves two children, 5-year-old Joshua and 2-year-old Kaylee.

Harrington’s mother-in-law, Debra Ryan, a newsroom assistant at The Standard-Times in New Bedford, Mass., says she also was notified Saturday.

There had been no formal announcement from the Army by midday Sunday.
