EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) – Traffic on US54 near Orogrande was backed up for miles in both directions as a U.S. Army transport rolled over, dumping the tracked vehicle it was transporting into the median.

For an as-of-yet unknown reason, the HEMTT A4 transport truck and trailer carrying the vehicle rolled over, with the tracked vehicle landing upside down in the median. Footage shared via social media showed soldiers standing around the upside down vehicle, as traffic on both sides of US54 slowed to a crawl.
