An Army transport truck carrying tank ammunition skidded off a snowy road in Poland on Saturday, injuring two U.S. soldiers.
A preliminary investigation indicated that the truck was traveling too fast for the winter road conditions, and the driver lost control and slid off the road, according to a Polish Defense Ministry communique.
Some of the M-1 ammunition for M-1 Abrams tanks the truck was hauling spilled onto the road leading to Zagan, where several hundred U.S. troops and equipment for an American armored brigade are based.
