The fatal collision, which occurred near Harvey Barracks in Kitzingen, Germany, involved Santiago’s motorcycle and another U.S. Army Europe-registered vehicle, said Maj. Bill Coppernoll, 1st ID spokesman. The accident remains under investigation.
Santiago was pronounced dead at about 7 p.m. Friday after being taken to the Würzburg clinic. A native of Puerto Rico, he was a missile repairman.
