BISMARCK, N.D. — A truck driver who lost control of a semitrailer carrying parts for intercontinental ballistic missiles from North Dakota’s Minot Air Force Base was distracted by a “large insect” that flew in a window and landed on the driver’s back, the military said in a report Friday.
The Air Force said the truck, which overturned Aug. 31 on a gravel road, had no nuclear material. The shipment contained two 14-gallon tanks of liquid rocket fuel but never was in danger of exploding or leaking, the military said.
