At least 12 people were left injured after a hot air balloon crashed near a popular tourist site in Mexico.
The red and yellow balloon undertook a 'forced landing' in San Martin de las Piramides - a famous archaeological site - after hitting an air pocket, according to a statement from the civil protection agency for the state of Mexico.
The twelve people who were aboard the balloon were dashed to a local clinic to have their injuries treated, the statement added.
Footage of the incident saw the huge hot air balloon floating down towards the earth before hitting a fence.
The material was seen draped over the railing and power lines along Tuxpan Avenue, a two-lane road just over a thousand feet from the base of the Pyramid of the Moon, as onlookers watched from the pavement in shock.
