More than a dozen National Guard soldiers have been injured after a military transport bus overturned in central Virginia.
(CNN) - Stormy weather in the East claimed at least two lives Monday night. The elderly Maryland man was standing in his driveway when high winds from a thunderstorm brought down the tree, the Carroll County Sheriff's Office said. The soldier was taking part in a training exercise when the tree fell at Fort Pickett, the Virginia National Guard said in a tweet. "We extend our deepest sympathies to the loved ones of the Soldier who was killed, and we wish a speedy recovery to the Soldiers who were injured," the Virginia National Guard said.
