Pfc. Joseph Marquez was pronounced dead at the scene of a single vehicle accident at Yakima Training Area, Washington, on Apr. 25, 2022. Two other soldiers were injured in the incident. (Facebook/Army)
The tactical vehicle crash that killed a 7th Infantry Division soldier in the Yakima Training Area at Joint Base Lewis-McChord last week was a rollover, according to a preliminary investigation by the Army Combat Readiness Center.
Many of the details on the April 25 crash — including its suspected causes — have not yet been released and will not become public until after a safety investigation and parallel command investigation conclude.

SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL
..."Known for his laughter’
The junior soldier’s unit memorialized him as “a loving son and brother...a faithful friend...and a loyal Soldier” in a Facebook post made the day after his death.
Marquez, who hailed from Dover, Delaware, joined the Army in 2021, according to Dettmer.
His sister told Delaware NBC affiliate WRDE that Joey, as his family and friends knew him, was living the “American Dream.”
“We are deeply saddened by the loss of Pfc. Marquez,” said Lt. Col. Michael Filanowski, his squadron commander, in an April 26 release. “Blackhawk Squadron sends its deepest condolences to his family and loved ones. Our prayers and thoughts are with them during this difficult time.”"

This is sad, but at least the Army listened when I told them that I was a bad driver during Basic.

SPC Michael Terrell
SGT (Join to see) - No. I had even more dangerous duty. I was a Broadcast Engineer who didn't care who got between me and my work. That included a two star general who was over all three Alaskan Army bases.
He found out the hard way not to stand between me and my equipment.
