Chris Smith was riding a hot air balloon when it crashed into a crowd at Hot Air Balloon Festival/Hannibal Bicentennial Celebration, in Missouri just before 7 PM on Saturday, June 22, 2019.
Smith warned the crowd as his balloon was crashing and told everyone to get out of the way. The basket of the balloon hit a little girl and an older woman before it eventually hit a tree and tipped over.
No one was seriously injured from the accident.
