New Mexico vehicle crash kills 2 US service members, leaves 1 in serious condition

Two U.S. service members tragically lost their lives in a devastating crash near Santa Teresa, New Mexico, on Tuesday. Another service member remains in serious condition following the incident. The three service members were deployed in support of Joint Task Force Southern Border at the time of the accident, which occurred around 8:50 a.m. MDT.

According to a news release from United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM), the service members were involved in a “vehicle accident” that resulted in the deaths of two individuals, with one remaining in serious condition at a local medical facility. The exact details of the crash, including the type of vehicle involved and the specific branch of the service members, have not been disclosed.

Authorities are currently investigating the cause of the crash, and the names of the deceased service members will not be released until their next of kin have been notified. USNORTHCOM has not yet responded to inquiries from Fox News Digital regarding the incident.

In a separate development, the Army has recently identified the fourth American soldier who tragically died in a swamp in Lithuania. These incidents serve as sobering reminders of the dangers faced by service members in the line of duty.

As we await further details on the Santa Teresa crash, our thoughts and prayers are with the families and loved ones of the fallen service members. We honor their sacrifice and dedication to serving our country.
