ATLANTA (AP) — U.S. military officials say a soldier from Georgia has been killed in a vehicle crash in Syria.

The statement said Murphy was from Loganville, Georgia, about 30 miles (48 kilometers) east of Atlanta.
Murphy was assigned to 1st Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment at Hunter Army Airfield near the Georgia coast.
