Ten New Jersey Army National Guard soldiers were treated after being struck by lightning Tuesday evening at Fort Drum in northern New York.

The incident happened around 9 p.m. in one of the Army post training areas. Six soldiers were treated and returned to duty, while four were still under the care of unit medics Wednesday morning but are expected to resume their duties.

The soldiers were part of the 50th Infantry Brigade Combat Team based in Lawrenceville, N.J., unit spokesperson 1st Sgt. David Moore told NBC News.

Moore said he was not sure what kind of training the unit had been conducting at the time or how long they had been out there. 

The brigade arrived at Fort Drum on Aug. 8 for an annual 15-day training exercise. Moore said the unit would not release the names of the soldiers injured.

Six people were killed and one was injured Thursday morning when a tractor trailer carrying yogurt rear-ended a vehicle that had slowed for construction work, causing a chain reaction. 

Five of the victims died when their SUV caught fire after being hit. Trooper Jack Keller told The Associated Press that the driver of the first vehicle struck died at a hospital.

The tractor-trailer driver,  James A. Mills Jr. of Myerstown, Pa., was taken to a hospital for treatment, the AP said.

The AP reported the tractor-trailer was heading down Route 11 in Antwerp, a town 90 miles north of Syracuse and a few miles from the Canadian border, when it hit the back of a vehicle causing it to collide with a Department of Transportation truck and the SUV.

State police told the AP the SUV was moving slowly or was stopped because of roadwork. 

The road, a two-lane stretch of highway, had signs warning motorists that crews were conducting road work ahead.

It is not known if the five occupants inside the SUV were all related, police told the AP.

The AP reported a DOT spokesperson said a crew was repaving the road and that an agency employee had been airlifted to a hospital. His condition was not known.

The tractor-trailer was carrying yogurt from a nearby plant to a neighboring county at the time of the accident, according to the AP. 

Troopers told the AP reported  that Mills will be tested for drugs and that they were inspecting the trailer for mechanical problems. 

The Jefferson County district attorney will determine if charges will be filed.
