Two Marines Are Dead, 17 Injured in Truck Rollover in North Carolina. Driver Charged.

Two Marines are dead and 17 more are injured after the tactical vehicle they were driving rolled over Wednesday in Jacksonville, N.C., the service announced late in the evening.

The Marine Corps said the deceased were pronounced dead at the scene while two Marines were transported to New Hanover Regional Medical Center in Wilmington, N.C., where they were in critical condition. The remaining 15 Marines were taken to the Naval Medical Center at Camp Lejeune, N.C., where they were listed in stable condition.

All the casualties were active duty Marines with 2nd Marine Logistics Group, II Marine Expeditionary Force, based out of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, the statement said.

The Marines were driving a medium tactical vehicle replacement (MTVR) – often called a “7-ton” – when it rolled near the intersection of North Carolina Highway 210 and U.S. Highway 17.
