A ministry communique said the truck carrying tank ammunition skidded off a slippery road because the driver was going too fast for the winter road conditions.
Some of the ammunition for M-1 Abrams tanks the truck was hauling spilled onto the road leading to Zagan, where US troops are based. The road was temporarily closed after the accident occurred after dark yesterday.
A spokesman for local firefighters, Captain Dariusz Szymura, tells television station TVN24 that one of the soldiers was hospitalised.
