If we could verify that this military truck was carrying a nuclear missile, as reported by the video’s author, we’d surely be forbidden to tell you, but it was definitely carrying something dangerous and it was rear-ended.

Filmed on the US-89 highway in Great Falls, Montana, which all so happens to be a 10-minute drive or just 5.4 miles away from the Malmstrom Air Force Base, said lorry was surrounded by a convoy of heavily-armored military cars, as well as what appear to be police and federal agency vehicles.

Eyewitnesses Paul Tedford was standing on the pavement when the convoy was passing through. One of the escort vehicles then pulled up in front him with its sirens blasting, with the man saying, “Are you f****ing kidding, I can’t do this? I can do it!”.

Tedford described the encounter on his YouTube page thusly: “Have you ever seen a nuclear missile being transported in a convoy? Several helicopters in the air and federal marshals leading the way. The crazy thing is that the fed pulled over and was yelling and waving his hands that I can’t record this video! And then a truck rear ended the nuke!”
