Authorities say a hot-air balloon has possibly caught fire and crashed in the US, and three people are missing.
Several local news media outlets quoted Virginia State Police spokeswoman Corinne Geller as saying that authorities received a report of the crash yesterday evening in Caroline County.
Geller said a pilot and two passengers were believed to be in the balloon's gondola, and that according to witness accounts the gondola caught fire. But she said police had not yet found any wreckage.
Geller said police would search for the balloon throughout the night, initially on the ground and possibly later by air if weather conditions improved. Severe storms were expected in the area.
