A 19-year-old airman who was killed in a Humvee rollover during a 2023 convoy back to F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming was not wearing a seat belt and the driver was going over the recommended speed, according to an investigation report.
Airman Trinity Reinhart, an Oregon native who had been assigned to F.E. Warren just shy of four months, was riding as a passenger in the second vehicle of a two-vehicle convoy on Sept. 16, 2023, after working security for maintainers at a missile facility near Grover, Colorado, the Ground Accident Investigation Board report released earlier this month detailed.
While driving 45 miles per hour down an unpaved road that evening, the driver of the Humvee lost control and the vehicle began sliding off the road and turning, ultimately causing the Humvee to flip into a ditch, killing Reinhart, the report detailed. The driver was treated for minor injuries.
"As the vehicle rolled, both front doors opened. Reinhart, who was not wearing her seat belt, was ejected and sustained fatal injuries," a news release from Air Force Global Strike Command said.
