Six passengers and a pilot are OK after a hot air balloon they were riding in crash landed in a field Thursday morning.

The balloon, operated by Sundance Balloons, hit a tree and then got stuck on a light standard in the athletic field at Brookswood Secondary.

“It was a nice flight but a bad landing,” said one passenger, adding that everyone was alright and that it was a “fun day.”
