Hot air balloon crashes into a power line over busy US highway

A hot air balloon has crashed into a power line on a highway in Minnesota, injuring two of its three passengers as they fell nine metres to the ground. The balloon was seen floating dangerously low above fast-moving cars on US highway 63 before it collided with an electricity line. The collision at around (local time) on Wednesday caused sparks to fly as parts of the balloon fell nine metres to the ground and the rest of it floated away. #crash #hotairballoon #minnesota Subscribe to The Telegraph with our special offer: just £1 for 3 months.
