A Marine was killed and 18 others were injured Thursday in a
vehicle rollover accident at Camp Pendleton.
Officials are
investigating the accident, said Lt. Colleen McFadden, a spokeswoman for the
1st Marine Division. They haven't released details about the conditions of the
injured.
"The
command's priorities are to take care of the Marines, Sailors and families of
the unit," McFadden said in a written statement. "We want to ensure
the Marines and their family members are being provided for during this
difficult time."
The identity of
the Marine who was killed will be released 24 hours after the next of kin are
notified, she said.
The Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton encompasses more than 125,000 in
Southern California, about 40 miles from downtown San Diego.
