A great tragedy has struck the USA. Three American soldiers died in a horrific accident. While driving on the highway, they suddenly fell off a 394-foot cliff in San Francisco. Shocking photos of the car drifting in the water quickly appeared online.
The accident occurred on Friday on the famous Highway 1, which runs along the Pacific coast and is known for its sharp turns and steep coastal cliffs. It is the longest state route in California and the second longest in the country.
According to the "Daily Mail," the soldiers who died on this dangerous route were 36-year-old Brylyn Aroma from Kansas, 29-year-old Mohammad Noory, and 28-year-old Angelica Gacho, both of whom recently lived in San Francisco. They were in a small, two-door car that drifted into the water after the accident.
American media published photos of the wreck. Rescuers immediately managed to retrieve two bodies. The third victim was found in the car only on Saturday. The operation was earlier halted due to severe weather conditions. To find the accident victims, authorities stopped traffic on the highway and launched a rescue operation.

According to reports from NBC Bay Area, Noory was most likely behind the wheel and working as an Uber driver at the time of the accident. It is known that he came from Afghanistan. Now, his friends want to raise money for his family. In his homeland, he was an interpreter for the American army. In 2021, he obtained a visa and came to the USA.
