RAPID CITY, S.D. — The Air Force says a B-1B bomber from Ellsworth Air Force Base collided with two emergency-response vehicles Friday after landing at Andersen Air Force Base in Guam.

The bomber declared an in-flight emergency shortly after leaving the base and then landed, Ellsworth said in a release. After coming to a stop on the taxiway, the craft started to roll on its wheels and collided with the vehicles, according to Air Force officials.

Details on how the accident occurred were not provided.

No one was injured. The crew had left the bomber before the collision.

The bomber was returning to Ellsworth after taking part in the Singapore Air Show Feb. 19-24. Ellsworth crews flew the B-1 on a “nonstop 21-hour mission” to get the plane there, according to a story on the Air Force Web site.
