Thurmont,MD :US soldiers injured in crash with fuel truck in Bavaria on Tuesday, 8th May 2018

Two U.S. soldiers were treated and released from a local hospital Tuesday after their convoy and a fuel truck collided in a highway pileup about an hour north of Munich, military officials said.

The soldiers were from the 173rd Airborne Brigade.

“Both soldiers were screened and cleared by the hospital and have been returned to their unit,” said Maj. Chris Bradley, the 173rd’s spokesman.

Initial reporting from the Army stated at least eight soldiers were injured, but as reports came in through the day the number was reduced, Bradley said. A third soldier from the unit accompanied the soldiers to the hospital along with a police escort, but that soldier was uninjured.
