The West Point cadet killed in a overturned vehicle training accident at the U.S. Military Academy was identified Friday.
Cadet Christopher J. Morgan, 22, of West Orange, New Jersey, was part of the Class of 2020. He was a law and legal studies major and a recruited athlete who was a standout member of the Army Wrestling Team, according to a statement from West Point.
Morgan was killed Thursday morning when 5-ton Light Medium Tactical Vehicle used for personnel and equipment overturned in a training area off of Route 293.

"He was a talented, hardworking, and determined athlete who loved his sport. Chris had an infectious personality with a smile big enough to fill any room, and a heart big enough to love everyone around him. He made everyone around him better and he will be greatly missed."
A vigil is being held for Morgan at West Point on Friday evening.
A friend of Morgan's, Josh Feinblatt, told ABC News that in high school, Morgan was a member of the West Orange Junior ROTC program and also played football and wrestled before going on to attend the West Point Military Academy Preparatory School.
Feinblatt said Morgan always had a positive energy and a smile that "lit up" any room.
Among 22 individuals in the vehicle, 19 cadets and two soldiers were also injured.

The injuries ranged from face abrasions to a broken arm.
The accident occurred as the cadets -- who are rising seniors and part of the class of 2020 -- were traveling to a land navigation training site during annual summer training at the academy, West Point Superintendent Lt. Gen. Darryl A. Williams said at an afternoon news conference.
He called it a "tragic day" for the West Point community and the U.S. Army.
During the summer months, West Point cadets train in field exercises common throughout the active duty Army. One of the two Army soldiers on the truck was driving -- not a cadet -- when the accident occurred, Williams said.
There are 2,400 cadets currently training at the U.S. Military Academy.

This incident is made all the more heart wrenching as we commemorate the 75th anniversary of D-Day today, a day where we remember those who gave their lives for our country."
