Hot air balloon crash hurts nearly dozen in Australia – Reports

At least Nine people were injured Friday after a hot air balloon made a rough landing in a New South Wales wine region of Australia after hitting a tree during descent, local media reported.

Two people were hospitalized with suspected spinal injuries and seven others with fractured bones, the local ABC broadcaster reported citing health authorities.

​The incident with the balloon, operated by the Balloon Safaris company, is reportedly the second one this year after a crash in January, which hurt four passengers, including an 80-year-old woman who suffered multiple fractures.
