LAV accident near San Diego-two dead two injured LAR Marines

LAR Marines from 29 Palms were in an accident last night while towing a disabled LAV that swung around the front of the tow vehicle:

"The camouflaged vehicles - one designed to transport troops and supplies and the other equipped with a 25 mm cannon and turret - were headed from the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center at Twentynine Palms to the Miramar Marine Corps Air Station.

One vehicle was ferrying eight Marines and towing a second without personnel when they crossed a bridge in Rancho Bernardo, a hilly suburb about 30 miles north of downtown San Diego and several miles east of Miramar.

The towed vehicle somehow swung around in front of the first and both careened into a guard rail, coming to rest on the edge of a bridge spanning a canyon, authorities said."
