Hot-air balloon hits power lines at Wellingborough
A hot-air balloon crashed into power lines in Northamptonshire, trapping a woman and two men 15m in the air.
The balloon's canopy wrapped round live cables just after 18:00 BST on Sunday, at Bozeat near Wellingborough.
Firefighters had to wait about four hours before receiving confirmation the power was off and beginning the rescue.
Andrew Plant reports.
