3 US Navy Sailors Assigned to Naval Air Station Pensacola Killed in Car Crash
The Navy said grief counseling is available as investigators work to determine what caused the single-vehicle crash.
On Saturday, three sailors assigned to Naval Air Station Pensacola died in a car crash in Pensacola, Florida during the early morning hours.
Two sailors were assigned to Naval Air Technical Training Center and one to Naval Aviation Schools Command, both commands located at Naval Air Station Pensacola.
At approximately 1:35 a.m. Saturday, Pensacola Police Department officers responded to the crash at M. Street and Cervantes. The vehicle was engulfed in flames when first responders arrived.
CDR David Gardner, Public Affairs Officer for the Naval Education and Training Command , said, 'The Navy mourns the loss of our shipmates and extends our deepest condolences.'
Circumstances surrounding the fatal incident remain unclear, and the identities of the sailors have not yet been released. Grief counseling services are available through local Navy chaplains.
