NFL free agent Donte Stallworth and another person were hospitalized on Saturday when their hot air balloon which they were riding in crashed into power lines in Miami. There was a third passenger in the balloon, but made it out with no injuries. Police apparently responded to calls around 10am when the crash occured and the National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the crash with the help of Miami-Dade police, according to CNN.
Stallworth suffered severe burns and is in stable condition at Miami’s Kendall Regional Medical Center, said his attorney, Christopher Lyons.
The wide receiver was in the balloon with a female friend when the accident occurred, according to Lyons. The lawyer did not name the woman or detail her condition.
