The 21 soldiers and West Point cadets injured when a military vehicle overturned and rolled at least 15 feet down a steep embankment, killing one cadet, are expected to survive, officials said Thursday — as new details of the crash emerged.
“Their injuries are not life-threatening,” said Lt. Gen. Darryl Williams, West Point’s superintendent, of the two soldiers and 19 cadets who survived the crash with injuries ranging from facial abrasions to a broken arm, and are recuperating at area hospitals.
Williams’s focus, however, was on the cadet who won’t have that chance.
“Today was a tragic day for the West Point community and our United States Army,” said Williams.
