A truck carrying an M109 howitzer in Goose Creek, South Carolina, was struck by a CSX freight train Thursday.

No one was injured in the collision, the Goose Creek Police Department said in a Facebook post.

Video shared with Fox News by eyewitness Jennifer Clinton shows the semitruck stuck in a train crossing, with the howitzer self-propelled artillery piece on the truck bed, before the train plows into the truck in between the cab and the truck bed. The collision was “devastating to see,” Ms. Clinton told Fox News.

The barrel of the howitzer got caught on the moving train, causing it to spin. Another angle in a video shared with ABC News shows a piece flying off the back of the howitzer.

A man who fled the truck declined medical treatment, Goose Creek police told Fox News.

Another eyewitness, Sonya Pitt, told Charleston, South Carolina, CBS affiliate WCSC-TV that the crash “felt like a bomb going off. … Our nerves were just shot.”

The train eventually came to a stop, and passenger service was not affected, a CSX spokesperson told The Post and Courier.

The howitzer was headed to Joint Base Charleston at the time of the cash, the spokesperson said. The howitzer was moved onto a tow truck, though officials didn’t say how much damage it sustained.
