BISMARCK, N.D. — The Air Force says it has recovered intercontinental ballistic missile parts from an overturned semitrailer that crashed in northwestern North Dakota.

Air Force spokeswoman Laurie A. Arellano says the missile parts were transported to the Minot Air Force Base on Friday. The truck from base’s 91st Missile Wing overturned Monday afternoon on a gravel road about 10 miles northwest of Berthold in Mountrail County.

The military says the shipment contained no nuclear material.

Arellano says the cause of the crash is under investigation.
