[What you need to know to start the day: Get New York Today in your inbox.] One West Point cadet was killed, and 20 cadets and two soldier trainers were injured, on Thursday after a military vehicle overturned en route to a training exercise near the academy, a West Point spokesman said. The truck, which was being driven by a soldier trainer, overturned near Camp Natural Bridge, a summer training site of mountainous terrain. The cadets were in the middle of the annual summer program for rising seniors, which generally includes training in military field exercises. The injuries to the others included facial abrasions and a broken arm; none was life threatening, Lt. Gen. Darryl A. Williams, the superintendent of West Point, said at a news conference on Thursday afternoon.
