It was only a week ago when a Marine was killed during the “hard landing” of a helicopter that injured 11 in a training exercise at Camp Lejeune, N.C. Tonight we’re receiving reports of another fatality, this one during a vehicle rollover during training exercises at Camp Pendleton in California.
KSL.com reports only that First Lt. Colleen McFadden said the rollover happened Thursday afternoon and that the identity of the Marine killed was not released, and the extent of the injuries to the others was unclear.
The Marine’s identity is being held for 24 hours after next of kin have been notified.
