Investigation launched after Amazon drones collide with crane

Federal authorities are investigating a collision involving two Amazon Prime Air delivery drones that hit a construction crane in Tolleson, Arizona. The incident occurred on Wednesday in a commercial area near 96th Avenue and Roosevelt Street. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) have both launched inquiries into the crash. The drones involved were identified as MK30 models, and fortunately, there were no injuries reported. Following the incident, Amazon temporarily halted drone deliveries in Arizona but resumed operations the following day after conducting an internal review. The company is cooperating with authorities and has implemented new procedures, such as enhanced visual inspections, to prevent similar incidents in the future. The cause of the crash is still under investigation, and this event underscores the importance of safety measures as drone technology advances.
