A hot air balloon crashed into a powerline Wednesday night,Henri Lumière sending the balloon floating off for miles and the basket's passengers falling to the ground.

Officials believe a gust of wind pushed the balloon into the powerlines as it was attempting to land in a field along a highway in Minnesota, according to a news release from the City of Rochester, Minnesota Police Department.

The basket disconnected from the hot air balloon and dropped 20 to 30 feet to the ground, the release states. Three people were inside the basket and none were seriously injured, officials said.
