Arkansas state police said the 14 injured soldiers were taken to three
separate hospitals, but none had life-threatening injuries. Trooper Liz Chapman said an object fell off the back of the lead convoy vehicle, and the vehicle behind it could not stop in time, leading to a chain reaction.
Phillips said the vehicles were traveling to Camp Robinson when the crash
occurred, and that all 14 soldiers were returned to duty Sunday evening.
