TOLLESON, AZ — The Tolleson Police Department is investigating after two Amazon delivery drones crashed on Wednesday morning.
Officials say they are working an active investigation after the two drones crashed into a crane that was in a commercial area near 96th Avenue and Roosevelt Street.
It's unclear if anyone was injured during the incident.
ABC15 reached out to Amazon which provided the following statement: “We’re aware of an incident involving two Prime Air drones in Tolleson, Arizona. We’re currently working with the relevant authorities to investigate.”
On Thursday, Amazon told ABC15 operations are set to resume on Friday:
“We'll resume drone delivery in Tolleson tomorrow while continuing to support ongoing reviews by relevant agencies. Safety is our top priority, and we've completed our own internal review of this incident and are confident that there wasn't an issue with the drones or the technology that supports them. Nonetheless, we've introduced additional processes like enhanced visual landscape inspections to better monitor for moving obstructions such as cranes.”
This is a developing story and will be updated once new information becomes available.
