Military.com | By Hope Hodge Seck
An Army reservist was killed Friday in Syria when his vehicle had a rollover accident, officials announced Saturday.
Spc. Antonio I. Moore, 22, from Wilmington, N.C., died in the accident in Deir ez Zor province, in central-Eastern Syria, while conducting route-clearing operations, according to a Pentagon release.
The incident is now under investigation.
About 500 U.S. troops remain in Syria following orders to pull the bulk of forces out of the country in November. Most are located in the Deir ez Zor region and tasked in part with guarding oil fields there.
Moore was attached to 363rd Engineer Battalion, 411th Engineer Brigade, out of Knightdale, N.C.
