The Federal Aviation Administration said the crash occurred near Lockhart, about 30 miles (50 km) south of Austin and at least 16 people were on board the balloon. It did not comment on fatalities. "It does not appear at this time that there were any survivors of the crash," Caldwell County Sheriff Daniel Law said in a statement. |
