FORT BRAGG, N.C. — Fort Bragg investigators say the death of a soldier who was hit by a vehicle during training last fall was accidental.
The Fayetteville Observer cites Army officials who say 24-year-old Sgt. Jalisha Vonshay Tucker, a parachute packer for 3rd Special Forces Group's Support Battalion, was doing physical training around 6:45 a.m. on Oct. 24, 2016, when she was struck by a vehicle.
Army officials said Tucker, from Ocala, Florida, was taken to Womack Army Medical Center, and then to UNC Hospitals, where she died about a week later.
Army investigators have released no information about the vehicle or driver, including whether it was a military vehicle.
According to officials, Tucker was pursuing an associate degree and hoped to earn a bachelor's degree in nursing.

Hopefully under Secretary of Defense James Mattis things will get significantly better for each and every service member soon SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL
I have my primary hope in God through Christ. I am hopeful that President Donald J Trump will be able to deliver on his promises to improve the military services and each and every soldiers, sailor, marine and airmen. That will require Congress to do its job.
In any event, prayers for the family of Jalisha Vonshay Tucker as they grieve her death.
