looks like the drive was driving at high speed and tried to out maneuver a turning container. Speed Kills, Always!

Army, Please someone tell the "officials" of the forces that the war is over and they can slow down and travel at safe speeds so that they could save lives of theirs and others.

You cannot conclude who was at fault by looking at the pictures. The pictures show where the vehicles stopped after the collision, not where they were at the time of the collision.

Couple of weeks ago high ranking army officer was also killed in the same area. Something should be done to discipline these drivers from armed forces.
