Hot air balloon crashes into West Midlands housing estate

A hot air balloon was seen crash landing onto a small field in a housing estate in the West Midlands on Wednesday, 16 June.

Due to the strong winds, the pilot made the risky decision to perform a crash landing.

Richard Bagley captured the moment on video, said: “I was on my computer and then my partner ran in and said ‘have a look, quick! I ran in and got my phone and started filming - I’m 47 and I’ve never seen anything like that.”
