A Marine died over the weekend during a training accident at the Twentynine Palms training center in California, according to the service.

The Marine was involved in a Humvee rollover Saturday during training at the Marine Corps Air-Ground Combat Center, the base said in a statement Sunday. No other Marines were injured in the crash.

“We extend our deepest condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of the Marine during this difficult time,” the Corps said.

The Marine, whose name was being withheld until 24 hours after next of kin had been notified, was treated at Robert E. Bush Naval Hospital at Twentynine Palms.

The Marine was later evacuated to Desert Regional Medical Center in Palm Springs and died Sunday, the Corps said.

The cause of the rollover is under investigation, the Marines said.
