Amazon halts drone deliveries in Arizona after a pair crashed into a crane
SMRTR summary
Amazon has suspended its drone delivery service in the West Valley Phoenix Metro Area after two MK30 drones crashed into a construction crane Wednesday morning in Tolleson, Arizona. The drones were flying back-to-back when they struck the crane's cable about two miles from Amazon's distribution center, with wreckage landing 100 to 200 feet apart in separate parking lots. One person was treated for smoke inhalation, and the Federal Aviation Administration is investigating. This marks the second time Amazon has grounded its drone delivery service in the area since launching operations less than a year ago.
