Three U.S. Marines are now dead.
According to reports, a car with the Marines and one other person was involved in a deadly crash.

They’re Gone
If a warrior is to die, they would prefer to die on the battleground.
That is not the way these three Marines lost their life.
Instead, they were involved in a crash around 2:30 a.m. Saturday morning.
The accident reportedly occurred on the 5 Freeway near Lakewood Boulevard in Downey.
All three of the Marines were stationed at Camp Pendleton.
Officials stated that the driver of the car, which was traveling at an excessive speed, lost control.
The California Highway Patrol stated, “The force of the impact caused the vehicle to split in two, subsequently ejecting the two rear passengers onto the right shoulder.
“The driver and front passenger remained inside the front portion of the vehicle which became fully engulfed in flames against the sound barrier wall.”
The victims have been identified as Rodrigro Zermeno Gomez, 21, Daniel Nichols, 26, and Joshua Leandra Moore, 27.
Officials stated that two of the deceased were assigned to Combat Logistics Regiment 1, 1st Marine Logistics Group, I Marine Expeditionary Force.
The other Marine belonged to the 5th Marine Expeditionary Unit, I Marine Expeditionary Force.
The accident is currently under investigation.
