Narrative:
I was landing my hot air balloon at slb during a balloon race when 1 of the other participants in the race landed in the same area and brought his chase vehicle out onto the landing area. No vehicles were supposed to be on the field until all balloons had landed or passed over the airport. Upon landing at the airport, my balloon landed or passed over the airport. Upon landing at the airport, my balloon basket hit and broke the windshield of the pick-up of pilot X. No one was injured and there was no other damage.
