Nathan Lehman (WTNY) -- The ten soldiers from the 10th Mountain Division who were injured in a humvee accident Tuesday night were not from Ft. Drum as had been initially reported.

The soldiers were at West Point to take part in training exercises when the accident occurred near the military academy. Ft. Drum public affairs officials say media reports near West Point were incorrect when they identified the soldiers from the local base. The injured were actually with the 4th Brigade Combat Team, which is based out of Ft. Polk, LA.

None of the injuries in the accident were considered to be life threatening.
