Fatal Motor Vehicle Accident Involving Marines on 9/11 Injures Several Others
The command at Camp Pendleton released information about a fatal accident that took the life of a marine and sent 18 others to the hospital on 9/11. Our thoughts go out to the families of all the marines. Accidents on a military base are covered by different federal laws than those that apply to most accidents in civilian areas here in California.
September 11 brings powerful images and memories to mind, and reminds us of many heroes who serve us in many capacities – including the Marines at Camp Pendleton. We are very thankful for their service, and for the personal risks they undertake in order to protect us and to come to our aid in emergencies and moments of need.
We wish a fast and complete recovery for those who were injured in the accident.
