A freight train collided with a military M109 Paladin howitzer in Goose Creek, South Carolina, on Thursday after the truck carrying the vehicle became stuck on the tracks. Dramatic dashcam footage captured the moments just before the crash, showing the truck driver escaping seconds before impact. The train struck the howitzer, valued at $1.5 million, causing extensive damage and sending debris flying. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and the driver refused medical treatment following the incident. Local authorities have launched an investigation, while the railroad crossing suffered damage, temporarily closing Liberty Hall and Red Bank Roads. CSX, the train operator, emphasized the importance of safety around rail crossings.
