At least twelve people were injured in a hot air balloon crash near an archaeological site near Mexico City on Friday, local authorities said.

The balloon undertook a “forced landing” in San Martin de las Pirámides 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 are being treated for injuries at a local clinic, the statement said.
