Two Marine Raiders were injured and one was later killed after a tactical vehicle accident during a training exercise Saturday at Camp Pendleton, California, Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command announced Monday.
Two Raiders received minor injuries and one sustained critical injuries as a result of a single-vehicle accident during a training evolution, a command release detailed.
The vehicle involved was the Polaris MRZR, according to Marine spokesman Nick Mannweiler. The ultra lightweight, all-terrain utility task vehicle is capable of carrying several Marines and combat equipment.
