The crash happened Thursday at 12:30 p.m. at N Goose Creek Blvd and Liberty Hall Rd
Truck got stuck on a railroad crossing
No injuries reported and the driver refused treatment
The truck, sporting a lowboy trailer, was lugging a M109 Paladin Howitzer. As it tried to cross the tracks, it got stuck. Bad timing due to an oncoming train that was swiftly approaching and couldn't stop in time.
The Aftermath
Railroad crossing damaged
CSX was notified about the incident
Police were on the scene by 12:40 p.m.
Delays in the area are to be expected as crews clean up the mess. Investigators will likely look into how the truck got stuck and if any safety protocols were breached.
Remember, always approach railroad crossings with caution.
