(CBS) -- A hot air balloon crashed into power lines on Saturday night injuring at least two people, according to the Federal Aviation Administration and a witness.

The crash occurred in the area of Greeley and Brook streets, according to a witness. Five people were reportedly in the balloon and two were injured, the witness said.

“A Colt Balloon was attempting to land in a residential area near Clinton, MA when it struck a power line and caught on fire today at 7:40 pm,” the Federal Aviation Administration told WBZ-TV.
