A Nato soldier has died in a weapons accident while on patrol in southern Afghanistan and six others have been injured in a car crash, according to an alliance spokesman.

The soldier "died in weapons accident" in Kandahar province around midday, Major Scott Lundy said on Wednesday.

"Enemy action has been ruled out," he said, without giving further details.

Separately, six other soldiers serving with the Nato-led force in the south were injured on Wednesday when their armorred vehicles collided with a civilian truck, 30km south of Kandahar city, a Nato statement said.

Four of the soldiers were treated for minor injuries and released and the remaining two were stable and being treated for non-life threatening injuries, the alliance said. It had no details on the condition of the truck driver.
