WEST POINT, N.Y.—A vehicle loaded with West Point cadets on summer training overturned in rough, wooded terrain on June 6, killing one cadet and injuring several others, the U.S. Military Academy said.

The tactical vehicle operated by two soldiers overturned around 6:45 a.m. as it was headed to a land navigation site as part of standard summer cadet training, said West Point’s superintendent, Lt. Gen. Darryl A. Williams.
