Description
A United States Marine was killed during a vehicle rollover during a training at Camp Pendleton on Tuesday.
Base officials confirmed the Marine was assigned to the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit and was killed when the Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV) rolled over during training.
Fourteen additional Marines were in the ACV when the rollover occurred around 6 p.m. and were taken to local hospitals and Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton for evaluation and treatment.
The name of the deceased is not being released to the public until the next of kin has been notified. The names of the other injured Marines are being withheld in accordance with Department of Defense policy.
The incident is one of several that have happened both at Camp Pendleton and other military bases nationwide.
CBS8 spoke with Michael McDowell, whose 24-year-old son, 1st Lt. Conor Mcdowell, was killed when an 80-ton light armored vehicle he was in hit a hidden ditch and rolled over during a training exercise at Camp Pendleton back in 2019.
