FORT RUCKER, Ala. (AP) - The Army says a civilian bus driver has
been charged with reckless driving in a weekend crash that injured
about two dozen Marine reservists at Alabama's Fort Rucker.
The military also said Monday additional charges could be filed
against the driver, whose name has not been released.
A bus carrying Marine Reserve troops overturned Sunday at Fort
Rucker, injuring 23 people. Seven Marines remain hospitalized, and
three are listed critical condition.
Officials say the charter bus was carrying members of an
anti-terrorism group from a training exercise at the Army post. All
the injured Marines are connected with a Marine Reserve command
located in the Birmingham suburb of Bessemer.
