Cornelius van der Walt, 37, had ketamine in his blood at the time of a hot air balloon crash that killed four people in Arizona in January, reports say.
The pilot of a hot air balloon that crashed in the Arizona desert and killed four people earlier this year had elevated levels of ketamine in his system, according to reports. Cornelius van der Walt, 37, had enough ketamine in his blood to be considered impaired for driving, according to a medical examiner’s report obtained by USA Today. The report said he did not have a prescription for the drug, and that rescue crews that tried to revive him did not utilize the drug.
The NTSB investigation could take over a year to complete its final report on the crash.
