Senior Airman Timothy J. Wright, 20, was fatally injured in a Humvee accident at Ft. Bragg, NC, during a unit readiness training exercise July 17.
Several unit members who witnessed the accident attempted life-saving measures until emergency medical services personnel arrived and transported him to Womack Army Medical Center where he was pronounced dead at 11 a.m. The cause of the accident is under investigation.
“Team Pope and the Gryphons of the 43rd Airlift Group are united in support of Senior Airman Wright’s family and friends,” said Col. Daniel Tulley, 43rd Airlift Group commander. “We stand together during this time of mourning. We cherish our memories of him and will continue to honor his service to our nation and the United States Air Force.”
Wright, from Pensacola, was assigned to Pope’s 43rd Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron as an aeromedical evacuation technician. He arrived at Pope in May of 2014.
Prior to his arrival at Pope, he served an aerospace medical service technician at Travis Air Force Base, California.
Installation memorial services for Wright will be held at a date to be announced.
