FORT RUCKER, Ala. — A charter bus carrying members of a Marine Reserve anti-terrorism group overturned at an Army base, injuring 23 people. Three Marines were in critical condition yesterday.
The civilian bus driver was charged with reckless driving and may face additional charges, the Army said.
The bus overturned Sunday at Fort Rucker, an Army aviation training center in southeast Alabama. The Marines were leaving the training area after a weekend exercise, Fort Rucker said in a statement.
