Two die after hot-air balloon catches fire in Mexico

"The passengers jumped from the balloon," the government of the state of Mexico said in a statement, adding that a child suffered burns. It identified the victims as a 39-year-old woman and a 50-year-old man, without providing their names. It said the minor had suffered second-degree burns to the face as well as a fracture of the right femur. It did not say whether there were any other passengers on the balloon. A video posted on social media shows the balloon's gondola on fire, in a perfectly clear sky.
