Regulators have launched probes after two Prime Air drones collided with a construction crane.
Amazon’s drone delivery program is under scrutiny again after two of its delivery drones crashed earlier this week in Arizona.
On Wednesday morning, two MK30 drones fell to the ground in Tolleson, Arizona, a city west of Phoenix, after colliding with the boom of a construction crane.
The drones were reportedly on their way back to an Amazon warehouse when they hit the crane. The drones caught on fire after the crash and sustained “substantial” damage, according to a preliminary report from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
No one was seriously injured, though one person was examined for smoke inhalation, CNBC reported. The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board are now reportedly investigating the incident. The NTSB confirmed the probe in a post on X.
The agencies did not immediately respond to Gizmodo’s requests for comment.
