Bystanders jumped in to help balloon land on residential road on Saturday, narrowly missing houses and cars
A hot air balloon made a dramatic landing in the middle of a street in Bedford on Saturday in front of shocked residents.
Sam Coldham said he saw the balloon descending in Bower Street in the east of England town at about 9.30am, while he was out walking the dog with his partner, Sian King.
Footage taken by King shows the balloon trying to land in a residential street between parked cars, telegraph poles and wires.
In the video, several bystanders can be seen rushing to help. They grab on to the guide rope to help lower the balloon to a safe spot, helping it to avoid crashing into houses or parked cars.
