A hot air balloon with 16 people aboard caught fire and crashed Saturday in Central Texas, and the local sheriff warned there don't appear to be any survivors.
The balloon crashed into a pasture around 8:40 a.m. local time near the town of Lockhart, the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement.
"The balloon was occupied and it does not appear at this time that there were any survivors of the crash," Caldwell County Sheriff Daniel Law said in a statement. "Investigators are determining the number and the identities of victims at this time."
Lockhart is about 30 miles south of Austin and teams from both the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board were racing to the scene to investigate.
