Balloon crash in Valladolid leaves one injured after fall into Pisuerga River

One person was injured Saturday after falling from a hot air balloon during a competition in Valladolid, Spain, which then crashed into a field and later fell into the Pisuerga River. The alert was received at 9:04 a.m., with the balloon making a sudden descent into farmland in Simancas, causing both occupants to fall. Emergency services, including local police, Civil Guard, and firefighters, responded, and medical crews treated one person for severe hip pain. The balloon, now empty, subsequently collapsed into the river near the Roman Bridge. Authorities coordinated through the Castilla y León emergency center, with Sacyl providing on-site medical assistance for the injured individual.
