Marine killed by plane crash on Arizona runway identified

YUMA, Ariz. — Marine Corps officials have released the identity of a Marine who died after a civilian airplane crashed on a runway at a southwest Arizona military base.

The Marine Corps Air Station in Yuma says 23-year-old Lance Cpl. Anthony T. DuBeau died Wednesday from injuries he suffered after a T-59 Hawk crash-landed.

According to the Marine Corps, DuBeau was hurt when the aircraft "impacted a government vehicle."

The pilot and passenger on the T-59 were examined at a hospital and released.

The cause of the crash is under investigation.

DuBueau, a native of Kenosha, Wisconsin, enlisted in the Marine Corps in April 2013. He was assigned to Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron at Air Station Yuma.

Marine officials say his daily duties included inspecting the airfield.
