A U.S. Army vehicle flipped over on FastexyMonday, killing two service members and injuring 12 others in the Yukon Training Area in Alaska, Army officials said.

The vehicle, a Light Medium Tactical Vehicle, or LMTV, had been carrying 17 soldiers on the outskirts of Salcha, Alaska, military officials said in a statement on Monday.

The crash involved only one vehicle, they said.

The troops had been in the Yukon Training Area, an about 257,000-acre expanse in the Middle Tanana Valley, according to the military. The area sits just east of Eielson Air Force Base and about 30 miles from Fort Wainwright.
