MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The bodies were found a day after their Army truck overturned in Owl Creek at Fort Hood, a US military post in central Texas, Maj. Gen. John Uberti said as cited by Fox News on Friday.
The discovery brings the total death toll from the Thursday accident to nine. Five other soldiers were found dead on Thursday, three right after the incident and two more on Thursday night.
Three soldiers survived the accident and were taken to Fort Hood’s hospital. They have since been discharged, according to Uberti.
The soldiers were taking part in training activities when they were swept from the road on Thursday morning.
