A freight train collided with a semi-truck transporting a military vehicle in South Carolina with witnesses describing the sound of the crash as "a bomb going off," Reuters reported.
The freight train, operated by CSX, a Florida-based locomotive supplies company, struck the lowboy trailer in Goose Creek, a city about 20 miles north of Charleston, around 12:40 p.m. Thursday, CSX said Friday. The trailer was transporting a U.S. Army M109 Howitzer, as per Reuters.
The incident occurred as the driver of the vehicle got stuck on the tracks while attempting to maneuver around a level crossing, Reuters said, quoting local media reports. An oncoming CSX train then collided with the truck and damaged the level crossing, police said.

Video captured of the incident shows the driver of the truck flee the crossing moments before the train smashes through the vehicle.
No injuries reported
CSX said the cause of the incident is currently under investigation.
No injuries were reported, and passenger service was not impacted, CSX said. Witnesses described the crash as being "like a bomb going off," Reuters reported.
The Goose Creek Police Department, in a social media post said the intersections were extensively damaged. However, all roads have since then been reopened after being closed for several hours, police said.
