Marine who served in Iraq dead in car crash
Associated Press

GREENVILLE, S.C. - A Marine who was part of the unit that helped rescue Army Pfc.
Jessica Lynch died in a car crash on his first weekend back home since returning
from Iraq.

Josh Speer, 21, veered off an Upstate road, overturned several times and struck
some trees as he was heading to see his fiancee.

Kent Dill, a Greenville County deputy coroner said Speer, 21, died on the scene
about 8 a.m.

Capt. Shawn Turner, a Marine Corps spokesman, said Speer served with the Marine
unit that aided in Lynch's rescue. Turner said details of what Speer's unit did to help
Lynch, the Army private captured to Iraqis, were unavailable.

2. MYSTERIOUS DEATH IN SOUTH CAROLINA


Speer was part of the group that rescued Pvt. Jessica Lynch in Iraq.

<snip>

Sunday, in broad daylight, Speer's car simply went off the road on Hwy 11 and turned over
several times. He was alone in the car, and was wearing a seat belt, the cops say.

Did he know something he wasn't supposed to know?

No one in South Carolina seems to be interested in that question.

Local press reports don't indicate that Speer was drunk or otherwise impaired. No mention
of rain, slick roads, or dangerous curves.
