ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A hot-air balloon bumped into a power line in northeast Albuquerque on Monday, leaving nearly 13,000 customers of a New Mexico electric utility without power for nearly an hour, authorities said.
Monday marked the third day of the 52nd annual Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta.
New Mexico’s PNM utility said the incident occurred at 8:35 a.m. and affected 12,730 customers. Event organizers said the balloon later landed safely and nobody aboard was injured.
